On the evening of April 30, 2017, 18-year-old Isabell Addison was stopped at a red light at Swope Parkway and Benton Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, when a passenger in the neighboring car opened fire. Isabell, known as Bella to family and friends, was struck multiple times and died in her father Mike Addison’s arms at the scene. The shooting was described as random with no known connection between Isabell and the shooter.

Police identified 19-year-old Anton Hunter as the suspected shooter; he was a passenger in a vehicle driven by his girlfriend. She told investigators she and Hunter had been arguing shortly before the shooting, then he began firing for reasons she did not know. The suspect vehicle fled and later crashed; an occupant of that car was taken into custody. Prosecutors charged Hunter with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and armed criminal action, and public pleas urged his surrender.

Isabell had recently moved into her own apartment and was studying to become a nurse. The oldest of five siblings, she had graduated from Job Corps at 16 after attending Turner High School, played soccer, enjoyed dancing, and was a member of the Marching Cobras.
