On September 11, 2021, 29-year-old Sheybeon Wyatt-Thompson was shot during a chaotic exchange of gunfire in Kansas City, Missouri. Wyatt-Thompson was a passenger in a car that crashed into a parked vehicle near 67th Street and Manchester Avenue after the vehicle was driving at high speed. The driver, later identified as Roy L. Broadus, exited and began firing at a nearby group; some people in that group returned fire. Wyatt-Thompson suffered a fatal gunshot wound and died at Research Medical Center on September 12, 2021.

Broadus was identified as the primary suspect after his driver’s license was found in the vehicle and was taken into custody on October 8, 2021. The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with nine felonies, including second-degree murder for Wyatt-Thompson’s death, three counts of first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, and four counts of armed criminal action; prosecutors requested a $250,000 cash bond. Broadus reportedly claimed self-defense.
