Devon Nolan, 34, was shot and later died after a child custody exchange in the parking lot of the Kansas City Police Department’s Central Patrol station on February 28, 2020. He had been meeting 27-year-old Deshonia S. Diamond to swap their children. A witness said that after the children were placed in Nolan’s vehicle, Nolan pulled alongside Diamond’s car and was then shot. Nolan staggered to the police station and told officers Diamond had shot him with a pink gun before she fled. Three uninjured children who had witnessed the shooting were found in Nolan’s car.

Police executed a search warrant at an apartment linked to Diamond and recovered a pink and black firearm consistent with the weapon Nolan described. Authorities say phone records contained text messages and a recorded conversation in which Diamond allegedly threatened to kill Nolan. Prosecutors in Jackson County charged Deshonia S. Diamond with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of armed criminal action, and failing to report a shooting; she was jailed on $100,000 bond and the case is moving through the courts.

Did anyone see the exchange in the patrol lot or notice the vehicles involved that day?
