A weekend homicide victim in Kansas City has been identified as Royce Jeffries, who played four years of college basketball at Oklahoma State University.
Jeffries played for Oklahoma State from 1986 to 1990, when Leonard Hamilton was the head coach.
Jeffries set a school record, since surpassed by two players, for the highest percentage of baskets made over his career at nearly 57 percent.
Jeffries was fatally shot while working as a security guard at a bar on 57th and Troost.
The death comes as Kansas City has seen a spike in homicides during the last several weeks, compared with last year's-record-low homicide rate.
