slightly different report
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- One person was dead and three people taken into custody after an altercation Sunday in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium where the Kansas City Chiefs were inside playing the Denver Broncos.
Kansas City Police Department spokesman Darin Snapp told NFL Media's Steve Cyphers that the incident was being treated as a homicide but that no arrests had been made.
"... An individual ... came back to his car, saw someone in his car who did not belong," Snapp said. "A struggle ensued between the two and that's when the person collapsed -- the person that was in the car collapsed. ... We don't know exactly how the person passed away.
"We talked to the doctors, there was no obvious sign of how he passed away -- if he had some kind of medical condition that caused his death, but we do know there was a disturbance between two people," Snapp continued. "One of them is deceased, so we are investigating it as a homicide until we hear differently.
The victim, a man in his 20s, was found lying unconscious on the pavement, Snapp said. Paramedics began administering first aid before the man was transported to the hospital, where he died. His name was not immediately released.
Snapp said police were speaking to several witnesses after Sunday's incident, and that three people had been taken to the Kansas City Police Department's headquarters for questioning.
"We've got three people that we're talking to," Snapp said. "They're just persons of interest. They're being very cooperative. Everyone that was here that we believe was involved is still at the scene. ... As far as suspects, we're not calling anyone a suspect until we determine exactly how this person died.
Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews told NFL Media's Albert Breer, "We're aware of it, but at this point it's a police investigation."
