Matim Nunley, a 16-year-old male, was shot and killed on Saturday afternoon, May 10, 2025, in the parking lot of the Shell at 8435 East 63rd Street in Kansas City, Missouri. Police responded to a shooting report around 2 p.m., found Nunley with gunshot wounds, and performed life-saving measures until medics transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Authorities describe the shooting as the result of an altercation that escalated into deadly violence.
Surveillance footage from a nearby business is said to have captured two men confronting Nunley as he left the convenience store. The footage reportedly shows Lamont Buchanan grabbing Nunley’s jacket and pointing a firearm while K’Vontaye Redmond pulled out a handgun. Nunley attempted to draw a weapon, which fell to the ground, and Buchanan is alleged to have fired, striking Nunley; Buchanan then allegedly picked up Nunley’s dropped firearm before he and Redmond fled.
Both men were arrested later that same day. The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office charged K’Vontaye Redmond, 23, and Lamont Buchanan, 19, with second-degree murder and armed criminal action; both are being held in the Jackson County jail, Redmond on $100,000 bond and Buchanan without bond. If anyone witnessed the confrontation at the Shell or has information about what happened that afternoon, please come forward.
