Shanterria Edwards, 26, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of August 5, 2018, in the 1300 block of East 89th Street in Kansas City, Missouri. Known as Shae, she was an organizer with Stand Up KC and an outspoken advocate for higher wages and workers’ rights. Witnesses said she was chased by an unidentified man as she ran toward her vehicle near the Legacy Apartment Complex; she was shot in the back, managed to reach her car, and called 911 but died at the scene.

Investigators struggled to identify a suspect. In April 2020 police released surveillance video showing a male loitering at the complex for hours before the shooting; he wore dark shorts and a white T-shirt, which he later removed and wrapped around his head.

If anyone knew Shanterria, was near East 89th Street on August 5, 2018, or recognizes the man in the surveillance footage, please contact the TIPS Hotline with any information.
