On August 23, 2020, 23-year-old Jazmyn Henrion was shot and killed in Kansas City, Missouri. Henrion, a mother of three young children, was a passenger in a private vehicle near 68th Street and Cleveland Avenue around 3:30 a.m. Gunfire struck her and another passenger; the driver rushed both victims to a nearby hospital but Henrion was pronounced dead shortly after arrival while the second victim survived.

Investigators identified a suspect they allege fired into the occupied car: a woman named KaShawn Nicola Roper (also referred to as KaShawn Roper). In September 2020 the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office charged Roper with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, and a warrant was issued for her arrest. Law enforcement described her as a Black female about 5 feet 5 inches tall and said she had ties to Missouri, Kansas and possibly Colorado.

Roper eluded capture and federal and local agencies assisted the search; rewards and public postings were used to solicit tips. If anyone knew Jazmyn, her movements that night, or has information on KaShawn Roper’s whereabouts, please share what is known with Kansas City police.
