A better photo would help, but from this shot, I'm really going out on a limb. This could be a Wahoo Tree. I saw these as a senior in high school in the KCK area. Euonymous atropurpurea, aka burning bush. I'm not great with identification, but I might actually know this one. It can get fairly tall, and from memory, it's not prone to dense foliage. Of course, I found them in the woods, so light could have been an issue there.
If I am correct, it's not very common in your area.
