FOX4 spoke with the owner of the gas station, who reviewed surveillance video that he said showed some kind of back-and-forth between the victim and four younger people he didn’t recognize.
Following what appeared to be a verbal argument, Juszczyk went to leave on his motorcycle, but something else happened that led to a physical altercation between him and someone in the group. After brief scuffle, Juszczyk was shot, and the group ran away from the gas station.
There haven’t been any arrests announced. In addition to the phone number shared in the Facebook post, if you have information you think will assist in this investigation, call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.
