Nicholas J. Carter, 36, was shot dead just before noon on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, inside an apartment at the Eastwood Crossings Apartments in the 5200 block of Oak Leaf Drive in Kansas City, Missouri. Police were called for reports of gunfire and found Carter with critical gunshot wounds; medics pronounced him dead at the scene. Detectives say an argument inside the residence escalated and resulted in the fatal shooting.

A person of interest was detained at the scene and held for questioning; police did not immediately release a name or file charges in the initial reports. Carter, known to friends and family as Nick or Yung City, was a father who had been expecting to become a grandfather. His mother, Kelly Fitzpatrick, spoke at a vigil and urged the community to break the code of silence and help investigators.

Does anyone have information about the incident at Eastwood Crossings or recall seeing anything on July 15 that could help the investigation?
