On the evening of May 7, 2024, gunfire erupted at a gathering on Corrington Avenue in south Kansas City. Neighbors reported automatic gunfire that lasted several minutes, striking cars and nearby houses and sending at least seven young children from the scene with relatives. Responding officers found a woman on the front porch with a critical gunshot wound to her chest, and inside the home they discovered 23-year-old Prophet Thompson of Independence, Missouri, shot in the stomach and upper thigh. First responders rendered aid but Thompson was pronounced dead at the scene. A teenage boy with gunshot injuries was taken to a hospital by private vehicle.

Police quickly identified a suspect and the next day took 17-year-old Jewell Cobbins of Raytown into custody. Investigators say surveillance video showed Cobbins and a female companion hiding three pistols behind a rock wall near a hospital after bringing the wounded teen there, and other footage reportedly shows Cobbins firing multiple shots at the Corrington Avenue home. Cobbins was charged in connection with the shooting, and later proceedings led to him being tried as an adult.

Does anyone have information about Prophet Thompson, his activities that night, or other details that could help clarify what happened?
