In the early morning of Friday, March 22, 2024, gunfire near East 67th Street and Cleveland Avenue on the edge of Swope Park left 25-year-old Donte A. Sims with fatal injuries. Officers found Sims in a parking lot beside a local business after calls came in; he was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his wounds. Reports say he had been across the street from the Freeway Market when he was shot.

Detectives and crime scene personnel cordoned the area and canvassed for witnesses. Authorities publicly appealed for tips and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to an arrest. No arrests or suspect identifications had been announced in the initial reports.
