A shooting on the night of Sunday, December 7, 2025, at the Express Stop 5 Phillips 66 on the 2900 block of Van Brunt Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, resulted in the death of 23-year-old Michael G. Weintraub. Officers arrived just before midnight after reports of gunfire and found evidence of a shooting at the gas station, but no victim on site. Shortly afterward a private vehicle brought a man with life-threatening gunshot wounds to a local hospital. That man was identified as Weintraub; he died at about 2:00 a.m. the next morning.

Weintraub was described as a Black male and a devoted father of two young children. Homicide detectives took over the investigation; police did not release suspect information and no arrests had been reported. Detectives asked anyone with information to contact the TIPS Hotline. Family members said he had recently spoken about wanting to secure his children’s future.

If anyone was at the Express Stop 5 or in the area that night, can you share what you saw or heard?
