Jalen Duree Stevens, a 21-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on September 10, 2019, in Kansas City, Missouri. He was a passenger in a black Ford Mustang driven by 20-year-old Makih T. Briggs when an argument at a gas station preceded a pursuit by a black 2002–2008 4-door Dodge Ram 1500 pulling a trailer with landscaping equipment. Occupants of the truck opened fire on the Mustang; both men were struck and the shooting continued for several blocks before the Mustang ran off the road and hit a parked vehicle.

Officers arriving about 3:15 p.m. found Stevens dead at the scene and Briggs alive but critically wounded; Briggs died the next day. Investigators recovered shell casings and broken glass near 78th and Blue Ridge Boulevard. Despite a detailed description of the suspect vehicle, no arrests have been announced and the Kansas City Police Department is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in the area see the Dodge Ram or its trailer that afternoon or have information that could help identify the shooters?
