At least three people were killed and five injured in an early morning shooting on Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri, police said.
The police reached the scene around 4:30 am to investigate a report of gunfire. Preliminary information indicated that there was a large gathering of people in a parking lot in downtown Kansas City.
Police officials recovered three bodies - two men and one woman - from the parking lot. It was later determined that five other people suffering from "non-life threatening" injuries reached various hospitals by ambulance or private transport, police said.
Earlier today, Kansas City's Mayor Quinton Lucus posted a message on Twitter saying that the police identified a subject of interest in the shooting.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear and the police have been interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence from the crime scene.
A $25,000 reward is being offered for information relating to the shooting, police said.
