KANSAS CITY—Law enforcement are investigating a deadly shooting inside a Kansas City pizza restaurant.
Just after 8p.m. Friday, police were dispatched to a shooting at a restaurant at 8700 Blue Ridge, according to KCPD Captain Jake Becchina.
On arrival officers were directed inside the business where they located a shooting victim, later identified as 48-year-old Reginald Lamar, unresponsive. Officers summoned EMS inside the business and they declared Lamar deceased at the scene.
Responding officers detained an adult male subject of interest who was at the scene when officers arrived for further investigation.
The investigation indicates the suspect and Lamar were inside the business when they became involved in an argument. The argument quickly escalated which led to a shot or shots being fired and Lamar being struck.
The suspect and Lamar were known to each other and this appears to be the result of an argument or disagreement.
Detectives are canvassing for witnesses and working with crime scene investigators to process and gather all available evidence. Detectives are also talking to numerous people who were at the scene when officers arrived to gather more information about what led up to the shooting.
