On August 27, 2021, Kurreem D. Graves, 41, was found slumped over in the driver’s seat of a white Chevrolet Suburban in the 7900 block of East 112th Street in Kansas City, Missouri. He was unresponsive and had sustained multiple gunshot wounds; emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene and the Jackson County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Witnesses identified 29-year-old Darryl Donegan, known as Ready, as a friend of the victim who had argued with Graves earlier that night. According to witnesses, the dispute intensified after Donegan said Graves asked him to kill a female witness; Graves denied the allegation and called Donegan a liar. Witnesses said Donegan produced a black handgun with an extended magazine, Graves briefly left in his vehicle, then returned and was shot multiple times.

Officers arrested Donegan at a nearby residence. He reportedly admitted being at the scene and shooting Graves, said he believed people were after him, and allegedly led police to a hidden firearm recovered from his backyard. Prosecutors charged Donegan with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Does anyone have additional information about the events that night or the people involved?
