On the early morning of May 23, 2021, 18-year-old Kailey Love was shot and killed in the parking lot of a gas station in the 8500 block of East Winner Road near Wallace Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. A young mother of a one-year-old and recently certified in Medical Assistance, Kailey was found between two vehicles with fatal gunshot wounds to her chest and was pronounced dead at the scene after first responders attempted lifesaving measures.

Police tied the shooting to an interpersonal dispute between Kailey and her ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Malyck Tommy Weaver. Witnesses and surveillance place the two together earlier that night after an argument; the disagreement continued as Kailey followed Weaver to the gas station. Weaver remained at the scene, contacted 911 and admitted he had shot her. A 40 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun was recovered, and prosecutors charged Weaver in November 2021 with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action.

The family publicly criticized the case when Weaver later accepted a reduced charge and served a short jail term before release on probation. Does anyone have information about Kailey’s last hours or the events at the club parking lot earlier that night?
