Surveillance footage shows the suspect, later identified as Jackson, standing on the Missouri side of State Line Road when he fired a gun at the victim, who was running away from him across the road. Jackson then ran from the scene.
The victim was transported to a hospital for treatment and is now in stable condition.
Based on surveillance footage and witness reports, detectives determined that an argument between the two men began when they exited a KCATA bus. The victim punched the defendant in the face and immediately walked away, but the defendant pulled out a handgun and followed the victim before shooting him.
Detectives located a single spent shell casing on the sidewalk and a fragment lodged in the window of a nearby hospital.
