KANSAS CITY (AP) — Kansas City police are investigating a homicide reported near one of the department's stations.

Kansas City police spokeswoman Officer Donna Drake said the homicide was reported around 2 p.m. Sunday near the intersection of East 27th Street and Brooklyn Avenue. The Kansas City Star reports that is about one block away from the police department’s East Patrol Division Station.

When officers arrived, they found two people with gunshot wounds inside a vehicle. Both victims were taken to a hospital where one later died. The second victim was in stable condition Sunday.

This is the city's 28th homicide of the year.
