Police are investigating after a man was killed in a shooting Monday morning.
Police responded to the Raytown Village Apartments in the 7700 block of Raytown Road at about 8:15 a.m. on a report of shots fired.
The man was right in front of Jack Kesler’s apartment.
“He was screaming in 7707—the number of the apartment [building] for help, and I guess he was trying to get someone to come out,” Kesler, who called 911, said.
Raytown police said when officers showed up the victim was unconscious. He later died from his injuries. Police identified the victim as Jarron Floyd, 34, of Raytown.
“It had me nervous. It had me shaking, I’m still shaking over it,” Kesler said.
For eight hours, investigators swarmed the apartment building collecting evidence including a Cadillac Escalade.
The scene is fresh in many people’s minds. Back in late February, Raytown police dealt with another shooting at the apartment complex. No one was hurt in that incident.
Both shootings are not believed to be connected.
“The Raytown police are always over in here. The neighbors are pretty good about if they see anything, any kind of strange activity they'll call the police, so really I feel safe with that going on,” a resident who didn’t want to be identified said.
Police do not have a description of the suspect(s) in Monday’s shooting.
If you have any information on this shooting call Raytown Police or KC Crimestoppers Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
