Adrian Terry was 22 when he was shot and killed near the entrance of an apartment building on Armour Boulevard in Kansas City on August 14, 2024. A verbal dispute between Terry and 21-year-old Eryn D. Holt escalated outside the building; a firefighter responding to an unrelated medical call overheard part of the argument. Surveillance footage from the lobby captured the encounter.

Witnesses say Holt shot Terry in the chest. Emergency medical personnel who witnessed the shooting performed life-saving efforts, and Terry was transported to a hospital but was pronounced dead at 12:11 p.m. Holt tried to leave by hailing an Uber but was detained by police before the ride arrived; witnesses identified him as the shooter and he told detectives he thought Terry was about to stab him.

Holt was charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon.
