Jonice Burks was 23 when she was shot and killed in Raytown, a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri, on the night of November 30, 2021. Police were called for reports of shots fired near 74th Street and Raytown Road around 11:10 p.m. and found Burks deceased inside a parked vehicle from fatal gunshot wounds.

A man was taken into custody at the scene but was later released, and no charges have been filed. The investigation remains open and her death is listed among the unsolved homicides in the Kansas City metropolitan area for 2021. Burks was a mother of two; her family has expressed grief and frustration over the lack of progress and difficulties with an insurance company while trying to arrange a memorial.

Can anyone who was in that area that night or who has information about Jonice’s death please come forward to help her family find answers?
