Victoria Cheri Brown, 28, a Blue Springs High School mathematics teacher with a Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Missouri, was killed in a violent incident in Kansas City on the evening of January 12, 2017. Police responding to reports of gunfire at an apartment complex near 62nd and Booth found Brown and 29-year-old Darrell E. Thomas dead. Two other people were also shot: 20-year-old Ali Renee Brown was transported to hospital and later died, while a toddler and another adult female were wounded and survived. Investigators described the scene as a triple homicide.

Authorities released descriptions of three suspects: a light-skinned Black man with shoulder-length dreadlocks, a Black male wearing a light gray hoodie, and a third Black male. They are believed to have fled in a black or blue four-door vehicle. Family members have suggested Darrell Thomas may have been the intended target because of his criminal history. The case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about the incident, the suspects, or the vehicle seen leaving the scene, please come forward.
