Killa City: KCMO homicide No. 83, KC police involved in shooting Sunday; Exae Chavez-Gutierrez dead

The man shot and killed by police near 113th Street and Sycamore on Sunday was 36-year-old Exae Chavez-Gutierrez of Grandview, Missouri, police say.

The officers involved in the shooting are on paid administrative leave. They have 28 and 13 years of law enforcement experience — which is routine in these situations.

Kansas City police says officers responded to a Jeep that crashed into a tree near 113th Street and Sycamore. Officers encountered Chavez-Guiterrez in a nearby park, saw him toss an object in the grass and confronted him. Then Chavez-Guiterrez pulled a gun and shot at the officers, who returned fire, says Kansas City police spokesman Darin Snapp.
