(KAIR)--Two men are in custody in connection with an area shooting that left one dead this week.

According to a press release from the Saint Joseph, Missouri Police Department, the two men are Buchanan County residents, aged 19 and 20, but no additional details, including their names, have been made public.

Police say the two are held in connection with the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Skylar Powell, whose body was discovered in a parking lot, in the 2200 block of Frederick, early Wednesday morning.

Police, who were called to that area following the report of a shooting, say they found numerous shell cases in the area of the body.

Investigators late Wednesday confirmed that Powell died of a gunshot wound.

There's not yet any word as to what led to the shooting.

Anyone with information related to the case should contact the Saint Joseph, Missouri Communications Center at 816-271-4777 or the Tips Hot Line at 816-238-TIPS.
