The Kansas City Fire Department responded to an apartment fire in the 2400 block of East 9th Street at 5:00 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 3.

Crews arrived to find heavy fire in the three-story building, with flames visible through the roof. Firefighters advanced four handlines into the structure for offensive operations and conducted searches, locating and safely removing three residents—two adults and one child.

Further searches confirmed no one else was inside. Crews briefly switched to defensive mode, using an aerial ladder to address fire on the upper level, before re-entering to complete searches and overhaul.

The fire was under control by 5:40 a.m. The city's Dangerous Buildings unit will assess the structure in the Olive Park Village apartment complex for safety. The American Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents.

KCFD's Bomb and Arson Unit is investigating the source of the fire.

Fatal Shooting on Winner Rd. Leaves One Dead, One Injured

UPDATE: On Wednesday, Oct. 1, the decedent was identified as Lashon L. Campbell, BM, 2/24/2000.

A late night incident on Saturday, Sept. 27, on the 5200 block of Winner Rd. resulted in one man's death and another injured, according to the Kansas City Police Department.

Around 11:15 p.m., officers responded to reports of gunfire in the area. While canvassing, they were directed by security personnel to a crime scene where a shooting had occurred. Police learned that one adult male victim, transported to a local hospital by private vehicle, was pronounced deceased. A second adult male victim, who arrived at a different hospital, is in stable condition.

Preliminary investigations suggest the shooting stemmed from an interaction among a group of individuals that escalated to gunfire. The number of people involved remains unclear. Homicide detectives and crime scene personnel are actively collecting evidence and witness statements as the investigation continues.

No suspects have been identified, and no one is in custody at this time. Authorities are urging anyone who was in the area and witnessed or heard anything to contact homicide detectives at 816-234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-TIPS. A reward of up to $25,000 is available for anonymous tips leading to information in the case.

The Kansas City Police Department is collaborating with Partners for Peace to monitor potential retaliation and provide social services to affected residents. Additionally, the department is committed to supporting victims of violent crimes through Missouri’s Protection Program for Victims/Witnesses of Violent Crime, which may provide funding for temporary or permanent relocation, subject to approval by the state’s administering agency.

The investigation is ongoing, and police are seeking the public’s assistance to bring clarity to this incident.
