More and more people are choosing to live in the Kansas City, Missouri area. It's one of the state's fastest growing regions, but there's one neighborhood you'll want to avoid at all costs. Thanks to a soaring crime rate, life there is brutal.
I'm not sure what's worse. Is it the fact that Missouri is responsible for 20% of the most dangerous cities in America for 2024 or the fact that I'm not surprised by it? It's probably a tie, but sadly both are true based on new data just released this week.
There's one title that has been passed around in recent years, but St. Louis, Missouri has been slapped with the 'murder capital' moniker more often than not. Well, based on new data, there's a new king of this awful distinction, but there's also some very good news to go along with that also.
It wasn't that long ago when a victim was fatally struck by several gunshots while leaving a youth center in Illinois. Now, there's a suspect in this murder-for-hire case who's on the run being sought by the FBI.
