On the morning of March 16, 2020, Kansas City police responded to a disturbance and a shooting in the 2700 block of Park Avenue. Officers found 27-year-old Sammi Jo Weyer unresponsive inside the residence; she was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Investigators treated the death as a homicide from an apparent gunshot wound and the Jackson County Medical Examiner was asked to confirm the precise cause of death.

Detectives said Weyer, a St. Joseph, Missouri resident and certified nursing assistant, had been involved in a disturbance at the home with one or more individuals before the shooting. Police worked to determine whether she was visiting or staying at the property, a detail they considered important to understanding the dispute. If anyone has information that could help the Homicide Unit or the TIPS Hotline, please come forward.
