Waleed Marwan Shaban, 34, was shot and killed on November 14, 2024, in the parking lot of his business in the 300 block of East Linwood Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. Police were called around 1 p.m.; responders found Shaban unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest and he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was born and raised in Hutchinson, Kansas, and held an electrical engineering degree from Wichita State University. He ran several businesses in real estate, construction, insurance, and auto sales and was remembered by family as devoted to faith and family.

According to court documents and witness statements, the confrontation began over missing belongings Galaviz sought to retrieve from a repossessed vehicle and escalated after a heated argument. Witnesses, including an employee, said Shaban pushed 24-year-old Kandi J. Galaviz to the ground; surveillance footage recorded the incident. Prosecutors charged Galaviz with second-degree murder and armed criminal action, and she was held on $250,000 bond.

Does anyone have information about the repossession or the moments leading up to the confrontation that could help clarify what happened?
