On the night of August 26, 2020, Hollister responded to gunfire at Hulland Park and found 26-year-old Kerri Elijah West dead of multiple gunshot wounds. West, a male who had lived in Springfield and Hayti, Missouri, was known to friends as KG and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Minutes later authorities answered a second shooting on Maple Street, where two additional people suffered gunshot injuries and were taken to a hospital. Police described the incidents as connected and isolated, saying there was no ongoing threat to the public. A female suspect was detained that night, though initial reports did not name her or list charges. The Taney County Sheriff’s Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol assisted Hollister police in the investigation.

If anyone knew Kerri West, was in the area that night, or has information about Hulland Park or Maple Street that could help, please share what is known.
