Prior to the shooting Sunday morning, a recent uptick in crime caught the attention of KCK police. In a letter to the Argentine community earlier this week in a Facebook post, police said that on April 28, a shooting at a convenience store in the 2100 block of Metropolitan left a clerk "critically injured," and on May 18, 17-year-old Jesus Abarca was fatally shot in the 1100 block of Metropolitan.
Suspects in the April shooting are in custody, while police have no suspects in the May 18 shooting.
