On the morning of September 3, 2024, a dispute at a home in the 9600 block of Ditman Way on Kansas City’s East Side turned deadly for 18-year-old Tondre Turner. Turner and another man exchanged gunfire during an argument; both were found in front of the residence with gunshot wounds and taken to a nearby hospital. The other man survived with non-life-threatening injuries, while Turner was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Investigators say the two men knew each other and that witness statements and scene evidence indicate the shooting was confined to those involved. Police were not actively seeking additional suspects in connection with the incident. This was listed as the city’s 108th homicide for the year.

If anyone has information about Turner, the shooting, or the events leading up to the confrontation, please share what is known.
