A homicide investigation is underway after police found a man shot to death outside a home in Kansas City, Kansas, early Sunday morning.
The shooting happened around 4:30 a.m. near North 8th Street and Tenny Avenue, just two blocks south of I-70, according to police.
Jim Farmer found blood splatter on the street in front of his home and on the grass this morning. Neighbors told him that the shooting victim ran into his side yard before collapsing.
"It looks like he got hit very close to where we're standing right now. Then he went to the side of the house. I don't know if he got shot again there, but there's even more blood there," said Farmer.
Officers working a shooting at 200 N 18th, possible homicide.
