Quick stop at KC park costs man his life

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police are looking for a suspected carjacker in the shooting death of a Kansas City man who made a quick stop after work to dump trash from his SUV into a garbage can.

Police say 25-year-old Brandon Fauntleroy-McDowel was shot at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday during a struggle with a gunman who had demanded his vehicle. Moments after Fauntleroy-McDowel drove out of the downtown parking garage of his employer, he stopped at a park to remove trash from his SUV.

The attack at Case Park took place in front of witnesses and was within view of his workplace, State Street Bank and Trust Co. He had resigned to take another job, and Tuesday was his last day at State Street.

Police said Thursday a burned-out SUV found in Kansas City, Kan., overnight was related to a homicide, but they did not provide specifics.
