Anna Juarez was 20 when she was fatally shot outside her home in the 700 block of North 11th Street in Kansas City, Kansas, in the early morning hours of November 1, 2025. Officers were dispatched a little after 4:20 a.m.; when they arrived they found her lying outside the residence with a gunshot wound. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police described the death as a targeted homicide and said the Major Case Unit took over the investigation. Prosecutors charged 22-year-old Kansas City, Kansas, resident Kevin Calamaco-Morales with first-degree murder and with criminal discharge of a firearm into an occupied dwelling; charging documents allege he fired into the occupied residence and one bullet struck Anna as she stood outside. He was booked into the Wyandotte County Detention Center with bond set at $500,000 and has an immigration detainer.

Family and friends remember Anna as warm, artistic, and generous. Relatives told reporters she had been at a party that night and had been trying to distance herself from what they described as an unhealthy relationship. A candlelight vigil was held at Waterway Park and community members were urged to share tips with investigators. If anyone knew Anna, her movements that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what you know.
