KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 19-year-old man was shot on Dec. 28 near East 8th Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri.
He died on New Year’s Day, becoming another of the city’s record 176 homicides in 2020.
KCPD officers responding to a shooting at that location shortly after 8 p.m. found Abdulbasid Y. Yassin unresponsive and called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital.
Yassin died four days later, around 4 p.m. on Friday, but his death is counted in the 2020 homicide total since the shooting occurred prior to the new year.
