UPDATE, June 23 | Police have identified the victim as 22-year-old Derrick I. Elder. The investigation remains ongoing.
ORIGINAL REPORT | Police in Kansas City, Missouri, are investigating a homicide in the area of Gregory Boulevard and Main Street.
KSHB 41 News received two calls around 11 p.m. Saturday on reports of a police scene in the area.
A police spokesperson said around 10:30 p.m., officers were sent to the area of Gregory and Walnut Street after receiving calls reporting the sound of shots.
Police said officers found an adult male victim in a damaged vehicle near the intersection of Gregory and Walnut. The victim was later declared deceased at the scene by paramedics.
No suspect information was initially available, though police believe the victim was struck by gunfire from someone in a moving car.
Neighbors shared the home security video, where you can hear several, if not dozens, of shots fired. The shooting happens off-screen, but it shows how shocked neighbors were by the incident.
A man and a woman can be seen trying to duck behind their vehicle as they hear the gunfire.
Another neighbor, Michelle Wesley, didn't see or hear what happened. She was driving by on Saturday night when she saw police at work.
"I'm tired of it," Wesley said. "I'm just devastated. It's bothering because it's something that's constantly going on."
