In the early morning hours of February 2, 2025, a triple homicide occurred at a Northland Kansas City home in the 4100 block of Northwest 65th Street. Three generations of women lived in the house: 73-year-old Sherri Duncan, her 49-year-old daughter Jodie Hopcus, and 24-year-old granddaughter Hailey Hopcus. A family member’s ex-boyfriend, 50-year-old Armando Navarro Jr., had been living with them and tensions reportedly existed over his continued presence.

Shortly after midnight an argument about the ex-boyfriend moving out reportedly lasted about an hour. A surviving family member says the man retrieved a firearm and opened fire, killing Duncan, Jodie Hopcus, and Hailey Hopcus. Another granddaughter escaped after being fired upon, with a bullet said to have grazed her hair as she ran to a neighbor. The family dog was also found shot and dead inside the residence.

Police responded around 12:40 a.m. after a neighbor called for help and pronounced the three women dead at the scene. Navarro fled in a white 2020 Ford Expedition belonging to a victim but was found the same day near Abilene, Kansas, after his vehicle became disabled and was taken into custody.

Did anyone in the Northland area know the family, the vehicle, or have information about events that night?
