Man dies after shots are fired into car on U.S. 71
By CHRISTINE VENDEL The Kansas City Star
A man died this morning after someone shot at the car he was riding in and the car crashed off U.S. 71.
The wreck occurred about 5:30 a.m. on the highway between 75th and 87th streets. The victim's name was not released, pending notification of relatives. It was unclear whether the victim died of injuries from the shooting or the wreck.
Police said the victim was believed to be a passenger in a northbound car when a second car pulled alongside and an occupant began shooting. The victim's car careened across a grassy highway median and then the southbound lanes before crashing down a steep embankment.
The driver apparently crawled out of the car and summoned help, police said. The victim was ejected.
Officers who investigate traffic fatalities responded to the crash, but they determined the death was not the result of an accident. They turned the case over to homicide investigators.
