On May 28, 2024, 23-year-old Xavier Townsend-Keith was shot while using free Wi-Fi at a bus stop near his home at East 51st Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. His mother, Rashawnda Perry-Townsend, heard the shots from their nearby house and learned from a stranger who answered his phone that he had been shot. Police found Townsend-Keith on the sidewalk around 1 p.m. with multiple gunshot wounds; he was alive during transport but died after reaching the hospital.

Investigators say surveillance showed a white 2017 Subaru Impreza, later determined to be stolen, circling the bus stop while Townsend-Keith was there. Court documents link the gun used in this killing to two earlier incidents when shots were fired into the Townsend-Keith home months before. Townsend-Keith’s girlfriend told detectives he had been friends with 24-year-old Garrett N. King of Independence but they had a falling-out over money King allegedly owed him.

Has anyone seen the Subaru near East 51st and Prospect on May 28, or does anyone have information about the earlier shots fired into the Townsend-Keith home?
