On 10-08-2021, during the drive-by shooting investigation, a KPD detective and patrol officer contacted an involved party in the incident, in the trailer park. He had been hiding and it appears that he believed that police had cleared the area and came out to examine his damaged vehicle, which was caused by the earlier gunfire.
