On the evening of November 3, 2023, 14-year-old Aaron Amparan was shot while a passenger in a Kia Sportage in the 6000 block of East 13th Street in Kansas City, Missouri. Surveillance footage shows a black Silverado, driven by 32-year-old Keith D. Adkins of Grandview, stop abruptly in front of the Kia. After the Kia swerved to avoid a collision, Adkins leaned out of his window, shouted, and fired two shots at the vehicle. Aaron was struck, the Kia crashed into a utility pole, and he was taken to a hospital where he later died. A second occupant of the Kia survived after being found behind a nearby residence.
Investigators identified the Silverado as stolen. The next day Adkins and a female passenger were seen in another stolen vehicle, a blue Hyundai Santa Fe. Officers located that vehicle on November 5 and a high-speed chase followed, reaching nearly 100 miles per hour into Independence; the Hyundai’s tires failed and Adkins was arrested after attempting to flee on foot. He was booked on multiple felonies including second-degree murder, first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, tampering with a motor vehicle, and resisting arrest, with prosecutors seeking a $500,000 bond.
Does anyone have dashcam, surveillance, or other information from East 13th Street on the evening of November 3 that could help clarify what led up to the shooting?
