KANSAS CITY — Two teens were found fatally shot outside their Kansas City apartment after leading a late night worship service during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan. Kansas City Police are asking the public for help to locate a suspect identified as 25-year-old Hanad A. Abdiaziz.
Capt. Dave Jackson, a police spokesman, said officers discovered the victim's bodies around 11:30 p.m. Friday while responding to a report of gunfire. The initial investigation indicates that a “domestic situation" led to the shooting.
The teen victims have been identified as 17-year-old Abdulwahid Abdulaziz and 15-year-0ld Abdirahman Abdulaziz, according to police.
