On the evening of November 1, 2024, a Lenexa, Kansas, home on Hallet Street became the scene of a family killing. Police were dispatched about 8:30 p.m. for reports of an armed disturbance and officers heard gunfire at the residence. Inside the house, 22-year-old Tyler Donovan was found dead of a gunshot wound. His mother, 52-year-old Sheila Donovan, was also found dead from gunshot wounds.

Tyler’s father, Todd Michael Donovan, had barricaded himself inside the home. Negotiators spoke with him for nearly two hours and were told he had taken pills; his brother later told police Todd Donovan had said he had just killed his family after overhearing them laugh and make fun of him. A tactical team entered the house about 1:50 a.m.; officers found Todd alive and in need of medical attention for a suspected overdose and took him into custody. A neighbor’s dog had also been shot and killed during the incident.
