A Saturday night sleepover in Kansas City turned deadly on August 9, 2025. Sixteen-year-old Traelynn Sibley, days away from starting her junior year, was inside a Norton Avenue home with friends and a toddler when gunfire erupted. One round struck Traelynn in the throat; she ran to a bathroom, collapsed, and was found unresponsive when emergency personnel arrived just after 10 p.m. She was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Investigators determined the shots came from a vehicle moving southbound past the house and that Traelynn was not the intended target. Detectives linked 21-year-old Bailey Lewis to the case after surveillance showed a 2025 Hyundai Elantra driving to and from the scene and tied Lewis to an earlier shooting about 15 minutes before Traelynn was struck. Lewis was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and accessory to armed criminal action, and held on a $400,000 bond.

Traelynn is remembered by loved ones as a beautiful, bright, sunny girl. Does anyone have information about that night or the vehicle involved that could help the investigation?
