KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Lenexa Police Department (LPD) said one person died and another person is in custody following an incident Saturday night.

Lenexa police responded to 13330 West 87th Street Parkway, a McDonald's location, on an armed disturbance around 7 p.m.

A reporting party called 911 and told dispatch one person had been shot.

Upon arrival, officers located an adult male inside a vehicle with at least one gunshot wound, according to Lenexa police. Officers provided life-saving measures to the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers identified the man as 21-year-old Markese D. Gleghorn, of Lenexa.

Just after the original report was made, a second individual called 911 and said he was involved in the disturbance, according to LPD.

Officers then dispatched to an apartment in the 12700 block of West 88th Circle and took that individual into custody "without incident," LPD said.

Investigators are talking with involved parties. Police are not looking for suspects at this time.

The investigation is ongoing.
