KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 17-year-old was killed and a man was injured in a shooting Tuesday night in Kansas City, Kansas, police said.
Shortly before 10 p.m., officers responded to the shooting in the 1900 block of North 15th Street. They found the two victims, who had been shot while riding in the backseat of a car.
The man told police unknown suspects shot at the car while it was traveling eastbound on Parallel Parkway between 38th and 18th streets.
The teen suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to an area hospital, where he died overnight. He was identified as 17-year-old Jo'shawn Garrett of Kansas City, Kansas.
