Tyler Javon Giles, 27, was fatally shot in Kansas City, Missouri after a chaotic early morning incident on February 12, 2024. Police were called shortly after 2:00 a.m. to 39th Street and Woodland Avenue for reported gunfire; first responders found two unresponsive men near a vehicle crash. The event reportedly began with a non-injury traffic collision that drew bystanders.

According to witness accounts relayed to the family of the other victim, Deion S. Lewis, Giles had stopped and was recording the scene on his phone. An argument escalated into a physical fight, and Lewis — who had stopped to assist a friend from the initial crash — tried to intervene. Shots were fired; Lewis was declared dead at the scene and Giles was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and died later that day. Early reports indicated the men may have exchanged gunfire, and detectives were still working to identify all persons of interest. No arrests or charges had been announced as of late February 2024.

Does anyone have information about who was at 39th Street and Woodland Avenue that night or saw what led to the shooting?
