A family call prompted Kansas City police to enter a home on the 3200 block of Woodland Avenue and find three family members stabbed to death. On July 15, 2021, officers discovered 23-year-old Tyla Ransom, her 63-year-old mother Shirley Ransom-Muhammad, and her 25-year-old brother Jaelin Ransom deceased; the scene reportedly had blood on floors and walls and a $100 bill placed on each victim.

Investigators quickly focused on a relative. Rahman M. Muhammad, 38, identified as Shirley Muhammad’s son and half-brother to Tyla and Jaelin, was located the day after the bodies were found. Detectives reported fresh cuts on his hand and what appeared to be blood on his clothing; he was arrested and charged with three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of armed criminal action. Cell phone data reportedly placed him in the area on July 13, two days before the bodies were discovered, and investigators believe he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

Are there readers who knew the family or have information about the days before July 15, 2021?
