On the evening of June 1, 2025, 31-year-old Juvonie Eugene Minor Jr., a Black male, was fatally shot at his residence in the Key Coalition neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. Emergency responders found him inside the doorway of the home on the 2900 block of Wabash Avenue with critical gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators say the violence began with a domestic dispute elsewhere that night. A female witness who had argued with her boyfriend, identified as Shawn L. Allen Jr., went to Minor’s home. Surveillance and witness accounts describe a silver Ford Fusion arriving, the driver approaching the house and shouting before firing four rounds through the front door. The female inside fled to her vehicle and hid; Minor, who had been near the entryway, was struck.

Detectives linked cell phone data and video to Allen and his vehicle. Allen acknowledged owning the Fusion and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon but denied killing anyone. A handgun with an extended magazine was found in his car, and records note a 2023 conviction for assault and unlawful firearm possession. On June 4, 2025, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office charged 26-year-old Shawn L. Allen Jr. with multiple felonies, including second-degree murder; he remained in custody.

Did anyone in the area see the silver Ford Fusion arriving that night or have information about the events at the Wabash Avenue home?
