Christina Lenai ’Chrissy’ Cunningham was 23 when she was found shot along Interstate 29 near Northwest 56th Street in Kansas City, Missouri, on the night of February 4, 2017. A Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper stopped at a vehicle parked on the south entrance ramp about 10:00 p.m.; the car appeared abandoned and Christina’s body was discovered in a nearby ditch. She was alive when found, transported to a hospital, and later died of her injuries.

A Washington High School graduate who had been active in ROTC and worked at a hotel near Kansas Speedway, Christina had told her parents she was meeting a friend north of the river that evening and planned to go to that friend’s home afterward. Investigators believe she was likely shot while inside the vehicle, possibly by a passenger, and then left at the roadside. Detectives have been unable to identify who she was with that night and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone remembers seeing Christina, the stopped vehicle, or anything unusual on I-29 near Northwest 56th Street that night, please come forward with tips.
