A 60-year-old man out for his morning jog in a quiet suburb of Kansas City was gunned down in a drive-by shooting that appears to be a purely random murder.

It has been one week since someone in a passing car fired a single shot that struck Harry Stone. The car never slowed down and the driver continued speeding along, leaving Mr Stone to die on the side of the road in Raytown, Missouri.

A law enforcement task force convened in the wake of the shooting suggested the killing could be some kind of gang initiation.

However, police in the city of 29,000 people have ruled out that possibility.

Those homeowner's association leaders can easily make a lot of enemies....

Yeah... especially if you are a hardened criminal or drug addict and leave your yard and house full of trash, bringing down the value of the whole neighborhood.

We live in what used to be known as a 'civilized' nation and society.

Many 'people' in our society do not want civilization, and things like 'laws'.

Well, actually the hypocritical lying bastards want 'laws' when laws give them the right to kill other people or steal from them, but other than that, 'laws' are just 'the man' trying to keep them 'down'.

there’s a strong possibility he might have had prior verbal confrontation with him while out jogging.. Perhaps in a cross walk or on a corner.

Sorry... but white people who jog in Raytown KNOW that you never confront or yell at a car with four young 'black' thugs, mainly because you can be SURE they are ARMED and itching for some 'bragging rights' at Raytown High School, or maybe SouthEast High School.

There's a really high probability he got into a verbal confrontation.

No there isn't. It is actually highly unlikely.

What is MOST LIKELY is that they were driving around looking for a victim, and saw Harry jogging (it was 6am. What was a group of four young 'thugs' doing at 6am? Looking for jobs?). So they paralleled him going past the gas station and shot him while they were on a road that had quick access to major highways (and a straight shot back to the 'hood'. Probably somewhere off Blue Parkway).

there might be witnesses to the prior verbal confrontation if there was one

Well, none have come forward, and in the time Harry was jogging past the gas station, a vehicle could have driven two miles.

If there HAD been a 'verbal confrontation', Harry would have been shot right then and there. That is how this works. Imagine 'disrespect' and then kill the source of it. They SHOT him because it was an EASY TARGET, the streets were mostly EMPTY, and they had Access to major highways two blocks away.

Sorry, West Bottoms.

Like there is really that much difference.
