Late on May 11, 2026, officers responded to a shooting on the 2000 block of East 38th Street in the Ivanhoe Northeast neighborhood of Kansas City and found 28-year-old Terrion Wedlow unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle with an apparent gunshot wound. EMS pronounced him deceased at the scene. Initial on-scene impressions did not immediately point to the involvement of another person, but an autopsy the next day changed that finding: the medical examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide.

Kansas City Police homicide detectives took over the investigation, returned to process the scene more thoroughly and canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses. Authorities say they are making headway identifying persons of interest, but no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests have been announced. If anyone in Ivanhoe Northeast that night saw or heard anything unusual around East 38th Street shortly before midnight on May 11, please contact detectives with information.
