On May 17, 2020, a violent confrontation outside the Truman Mart gas station at 8301 East Truman Road in the Blue Summit area near Kansas City, Missouri, left 36-year-old Jason Juszczyk dead. The altercation began shortly before 2:00 a.m. when Juszczyk, a resident of Independence, became involved in a heated argument with a teenager. Surveillance footage and witness accounts show Juszczyk physically grabbing one person by the neck and pushing him against a wall; another individual then produced a firearm and fired multiple times, striking Juszczyk in the torso. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office investigated and released images of persons of interest. Two days after the shooting, 17-year-old Camryn Wilkins of Independence surrendered and was charged by prosecutors with second-degree murder and armed criminal action; charging documents recount the escalation and fatal shooting. Juszczyk was remembered as a dedicated father of two and a local musician who played in the band Grapple the Sun.
