At approximately 6:50 PM we responded to the area of W. 87th St and Lackman on the report of a shooting.
When officers arrived, they learned that the driver of a vehicle fired shots toward the driver of another vehicle as the two were traveling on westbound 87th St.
As officers were on the scene speaking to the victim, who was not injured and did not know the suspect, the suspect vehicle, a black Dodge Charger, was seen driving in the area.
Officers tried to stop the Charger however it fled west on 87th St and onto northbound I-435 highway.
Lenexa officers pursued this vehicle into Kansas City, Kansas before losing sight of it on eastbound I-70 highway near I-635 highway.
We requested assistance from other police agencies as we pursued the suspect vehicle across jurisdictions, and those agencies were responding to assist.
On Wednesday, April 26, at approximately 3:00 PM, Lenexa detectives attempted to contact an adult male suspect in the 8900 block of Allman as part of this investigation.
The male ran but was captured a short time later. A firearm was recovered, and the black Dodge Charger was located.
The suspect is being lodged at the Johnson County Adult Detention Center to await charges.
