KANSAS CITY(AP) — Authorities are investigating a homicide after a man was found dead in the parking lot of a Sonic restaurant in suburban Kansas City.

Police in Lee's Summit, Missouri, found the man after gunshots were reported in the area Saturday evening. He was identified as 51-year-old Randall Lord of Kansas City.

Police spokesman Sgt. Christopher Depue said witnesses reported hearing a loud disturbance between people in the parking lot before the shots were fired.

The suspect fled shortly before police arrived. Police declined to release a description of the suspect.

But the incident was captured on video by several witnesses and surveillance cameras in the parking lot. Depue said investigators are reviewing that video.
