Angel Macias, listed in some reports as Angel Hacias, was 15 when he was shot during a double shooting in Kansas City’s Lykins neighborhood on the evening of Sunday, July 23, 2023. Police were called for reports of gunfire and found two teenage males struck on the sidewalk in the 3700 block of East 8th Street. Sixteen-year-old Adan Morales-Alvarado was found unresponsive and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Angel Macias survived initially but was critically injured and taken to a local hospital. After nearly two weeks of treatment his condition worsened and he was pronounced dead late the morning of August 4, 2023, making him the second fatality from that shooting. Kansas City Police detectives opened a homicide investigation, canvassed the area and identified a person of interest; they were working with the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office and said they were not actively searching for other suspects. No charges or arrests had been announced in the weeks after Macias’s death.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on East 8th Street that night or has information about the person of interest, please come forward to assist the investigation.
