On the night of November 16, 2020, 36-year-old Michelle P. Capell was killed in a drive-by shooting on Independence Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. She was found deceased around 11:15 p.m.; a male companion standing with her was also shot and survived.

Surveillance captured a dark four-door car with tinted windows as muzzle flashes came from the vehicle. Investigators traced that car to the fiancée of 28-year-old James Gregory of Independence, Missouri; a search of the vehicle recovered three spent 9-millimeter shell casings. Gunshot residue was also found on Gregory’s shirt. Witnesses said Gregory had been in an earlier dispute at a gas station that day, then left and said he would return before taking his fiancée’s car.

Gregory denied involvement during questioning but was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and three counts of armed criminal action; the prosecutor requested $250,000 bond. Does anyone have information about Michelle, the gas station altercation, or the vehicle seen on Independence Avenue that night?
