On New Year’s Eve 2021, 20-year-old Tera Williams was shot at a gathering at a friend’s house on East 50th Street near Blue Ridge Cutoff in Kansas City, Missouri. Police were called about 9:45 p.m.; she was taken to a local hospital after being found with a gunshot wound to the chest and later pronounced dead. The Kansas City Police Department says the shooting was not related to celebratory gunfire.

Tera’s parents, Terry and Andrea Williams, described her as a devoted mother to her young son Kree, a former member of her high school marching band, a college student and an employee at a senior living home. Family members have said a gun was present at the party, but whether the shooting was intentional or accidental remains unclear. The Jackson County Medical Examiner is reviewing the case; no arrests or charges have been announced.
