Wysaun Brown-Cooper, 24, was shot while sitting in a parked vehicle in the 5700 block of North Jarboe Drive in Kansas City, Missouri, on the afternoon of September 17, 2023. He had been dropping off a woman at her residence in the Lakeview Terrace mobile-home park when her ex-boyfriend, identified in charging documents as Malik A. Collins, approached the vehicle. The woman told police she was afraid of being seen with Brown-Cooper and said Collins made a remark before a single gunshot was heard; a witness reported seeing Collins walk away with a firearm. The woman was found applying pressure to Brown-Cooper’s neck wound when officers arrived.

Brown-Cooper was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died on September 24, 2023. Prosecutors initially charged 25-year-old Collins with first-degree assault while Brown-Cooper remained hospitalized; after the death a Clay County grand jury indicted Collins on first-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action, and he was jailed on $1 million bond.

Does anyone who lived in or near Lakeview Terrace remember seeing activity in the 5700 block of North Jarboe Drive on September 17, 2023, or have information that could help clarify what happened?
