Andrea Latrice Ford Dean, 32, was shot and killed inside a residence near the 4300 block of East Linwood Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, on June 13, 2021. Officers found her unresponsive with a fatal gunshot wound after being called to the home following reports of a shooting. Three juveniles were in the house and told police their parents had been arguing before the violence.

The identified suspect was Christopher L. Spears, 33 at the time. He went to a nearby Kansas City fire station after the shooting, admitted to personnel that he had killed the mother of his children, and surrendered a firearm. In interviews with detectives, Spears said he and Dean struggled over the gun during an argument about his involvement with another woman and that the weapon discharged during the struggle before he shot her in the head.

Dean, known as Trice, worked as a home health nursing assistant and was remembered by family as a selfless, loving mother. Her three young children were placed in their grandmother’s care after the killing. Does anyone have information about Dean’s life in the neighborhood or about the days leading up to June 13, 2021?
