Heartbroken family members are remembering an eight-year-old Kansas City boy tragically killed while playing outside his home on Saturday. Jordan Hale died after getting hit by a van over the weekend near Northeast Winn and North Bellefontaine. Saturday night Hale’s dreams were suddenly cut short. Police say the second grader and his six-year-old best friend, Jesus “Chewy” Gutiérrez, were riding on their skateboards downhill, outside Hale’s Kansas City home, when a van hit both boys. Hale died instantly. His friend was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries, including head trauma.
