Tuesday morning at 20 minutes after midnight, officers were called to an apartment in the 700 block of Olive on a shooting call.
Upon arrival, they were directed to an apartment unit where they located one shooting victim just outside of the apartment and one shooting victim just inside. Both were unresponsive.
Emergency medical services were summoned to the scene and they declared both victims deceased. Both victims are preliminarily thought to be adult males.
Detectives and crime scene investigators will be canvassing for witnesses and processing the scene for evidence to give detectives some information about what led up to the shooting, a spokesperson for KCPD said.
If anyone has any information they are asked to contact the Homicide Unit directly at 816-234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-TIPS, there is a reward of up to $25,000 for information submitted anonymously to the TIPS hotline.
