Fred Brewster, an 18-year-old male, was shot and killed inside a room at the Extended Stay hotel in the 500 block of East 105th Street in south Kansas City on Sunday, August 8, 2021, before 1 p.m. Officers found Brewster with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the hotel. A toddler was reported to have been nearby during the shooting.

At the scene, officers encountered 22-year-old Charles Greer-Johnson of Kansas City, who was taken into custody and made a spontaneous statement saying he had shot Brewster in self-defense. Investigators recovered four spent shell casings in Greer-Johnson’s pocket and observed two firearms on a table in the hotel room. Greer-Johnson later told detectives he fired after Brewster allegedly pointed a handgun at him and said he and another person attempted to render aid until police arrived.

The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against Charles Greer-Johnson, including second-degree murder and related counts. Did anyone in the area see activity at the Extended Stay around that time or know either man involved?
