On the evening of April 28, 2025, 18-year-old Donovan Booker was killed following a confrontation inside Liquor Xpress at East 9th Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Police say Booker struggled with a man who had a 9mm handgun; during the struggle Booker allegedly tried to take that gun. Authorities report Booker called to an 18-year-old companion, Jeremiah Williamson, to hurry and shoot, and Williamson allegedly produced a firearm. The man who originally held the 9mm regained control and fired. Booker collapsed outside the store and later died at a hospital.

Investigators found two firearms, five shell casings, and 33 live rounds near the front door and detained several people for questioning. Based on surveillance and witness statements, Williamson was arrested and charged by the Jackson County prosecutor with second-degree murder under Missouri’s felony murder rule, first-degree attempted robbery, and armed criminal action.

Are there witnesses or anyone with surveillance from the area that evening who can shed more light on what happened inside the store?
