KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 43-year-old man died from his injuries Saturday morning after being shot in the Paseo West neighborhood of Kansas City just blocks from Interstate 70, police said.

Officers were called to the area around 2 a.m. Saturday for reports of a shooting, the Kansas City Star reported. Kansas City police spokesman Capt. David Jackson said a group of people had been drinking together and “someone got shot."

The victim was taken to a hospital and died from his injuries just before 9 a.m., Jackson said. His name had not been released by late Saturday morning. Police also said no arrests had been made in the case and that they have no suspect information.

The death is the city's 22nd homicide this year.
