Aviva Ruth Okeson-Haberman was 24 when she died from a gunshot wound on April 23, 2021, inside her first-floor apartment in the Santa Fe neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. A reporter for KCUR, she was discovered after colleagues grew concerned when she did not respond to messages; a fellow reporter found a bullet hole in the apartment window and saw her wounded before help was called. She was taken to a hospital and later died.

The bullet that struck Okeson-Haberman was believed to have been fired from outside the apartment building. Her death was ruled a homicide and the Kansas City Police Department opened an investigation. Early coverage described her as possibly the unintended victim of a stray bullet, but later reporting said investigators were not treating it as a stray-bullet situation.

No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced and the case remains open. If anyone has information about that evening or heard anything in the Santa Fe neighborhood on April 23, 2021, please come forward.
