Four-year-old Mahsaan Kelley-Wilson died after being struck by a stray bullet while riding in his parents’ car in Kansas City, Missouri, during the early morning hours of June 20, 2016. The family had been returning from a Father’s Day barbecue when, shortly before 2:00 a.m., their vehicle drove into an exchange of gunfire near Eighth Street and The Paseo. A bullet from a shootout between two other cars pierced the family’s car and fatally wounded Mahsaan; he was taken to Truman Medical Center and died soon after arrival. Three other people were in the vehicle but were not physically injured.

Witnesses were present and police and community leaders appealed for information. Community groups held vigils urging those responsible to come forward. No suspects have been publicly identified, charged, or convicted in connection with the killing.

If anyone knew Mahsaan or saw activity near Eighth Street and The Paseo that night, please share what was seen.
