Shortly before 3:00 a.m. on November 15, 2023, 44-year-old L-Jomo Kenyatta Wilson was found unresponsive in the street outside a vehicle on the 1000 block of Broadway Boulevard in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Officers and emergency personnel responded after reports of a disturbance involving a weapon; despite aid, Wilson had sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives say an altercation occurred just before the shooting. Witness accounts and scene evidence indicate the argument escalated into violence, and surveillance footage shows a dark-colored SUV leaving the area with occupants appearing to fire shots at the victim as it drove south on Broadway Boulevard. The shooting was recorded as one of the city’s homicides for the year.

Wilson was described as a devoted family man who worked at a local packaging company and an auto parts store, and he is survived by a wife and children. The case remains an active, unsolved homicide investigation; no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been reported. If anyone has information that could help identify those responsible, contact the Kansas City Police Department.
