KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City police have arrested a Grandview, Mo., man suspected in a series of shootings that have occurred on area roadways since early March, according to Police Chief Darryl Forte.

He was arrested late Thursday afternoon in Grandview, just east of Insterstate 49 and south of the Three Trails Crossing area where seven shootings happened.

Police executed a search warrant at the four-plex where the man lived. Authorities towed away a dark green Dodge Neon with an Illinois license plate.

Neighbors said the man kept to himself and would come and go at odd hours of the night.

About 30 officers, including some wearing tactical gear, arrested him about 5:40 p.m. CDT said Kevin Cooksey, a neighbor.

"The dude was like a ghost," Cooksey said.

Investigators had received 114 tips as of Wednesday.

Authorities have linked 12 shooting incidents from Kansas City, Blue Springs, Lee's Summit and Leawood. Three people have been struck with bullets. Their injuries were not life-threatening.

Investigators from several local, state and federal law enforcement agencies have been meeting each day to share information and discuss any updates.

Police have not released suspect information because investigators do not want to provide misinformation or lead the public to focus on a specific type of vehicle or person.

Victims of the shooting expressed relief and gratitude at the news that an arrest had been made.

One of the victims, a Lee's Summit woman whose car was struck on March 31, said it was "great news" to hear that an arrest was made.

"I'll be pleased as punch if it is the person," she said.

A man who was shot in the arm while driving on April 4 said the shooter "needs to go to jail for awhile."

"I'm sure glad they caught him, that was the main thing," he said.

Another shooting victim called it "awesome" news.

"I'm really relieved that nobody else will get hurt," she said.

A woman who was driving with her 3-year-old daughter near 51st Street and State Line Road when their car was hit by a bullet agreed that she wants the shooter to spend time in jail.

"He deserves everything he gets," she said.

In one report they referenced "shell casings" so it is fair to say not a BB gun.

but yes...there are a ton of weirdos per capita lol.

I lived there for a few months and was amazed how every store had a cop in it. Between my drug dealing neighbors and living down the road from that crazy ihop cult murder i was done.
