White Men In Kansas City Have Been Shot Dead By Possibly Racially Motivated Serial Killer
2017-08-31
[Daily Caller] A 22-year-old black man in Kansas City who once said he wanted to "kill all white people" has been charged with murdering two middle-aged white men and is suspected of killing three more.

Fredrick Demond Scott was charged Tuesday in the murders of Steven Gibbons and John Palmer.

Gibbons, a 57-year-old Kansas City man, was found dead Aug. 14 after being shot in the back just after getting off of a city bus. Video footage showed an unidentified black man also exiting the bus and following Gibbons just before he was shot.

Evidence found at the scene of that murder led police to Scott, a former Burger King employee who has had a few run-ins with the law in the past.

Police were able to match DNA from a bottle found at the scene of Gibbons’ death to a cigarette Scott discarded outside of a Kansas City gas station. DNA was also found on a t-shirt left at the scene of the Aug. 19, 2016 murder of Palmer.

Investigators also suspect Scott in three other killings -- David Lenox on Feb. 27, Timothy Rice on April 4, and Mike Darby on May 18.

All of the men are white males between the ages of 54 and 67.

#4  A series of killings do not a serial killer make.

#3  He doesn't fit the usual profile of a serial murderer but times are not usual.

#2  A narrative turns topsy-turvy:
So spooky! Missouri to Jersey,
His derring-do daunting
The Caspers he's haunting,
A spectre is taunting Paul Kersey!

#1  He certainly doesn't look like the type.
