Jasity Strong was 28 when she was killed in a mass shooting in Kansas City in the early morning hours of June 25, 2023. Known to family as Jas or Jazz, she worked as a certified nursing assistant, was training to become a registered nurse, and was a devoted mother of two. On the night of her birthday she was at an after-hours gathering in a parking lot near an auto repair shop at 57th Street and Prospect Avenue.

Shortly after 4:30 a.m., an argument that Jasity was not involved in escalated into gunfire. As she tried to flee, she was struck twice in the back and was one of three people killed; six others were wounded. Two other victims named were Camden M. Brown, 29, and Nikko A. Manning, 22. Detectives arrested 26-year-old Keivon M. Greene that evening in Grandview; he was charged with three counts of second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and three counts of armed criminal action. The victim’s family has since called for tighter limits on concealed carry at large gatherings through a petition called Jasity’s Law.

Did anyone who attended that gathering or who knew Jasity come forward with information about the shooting or the events leading up to it?
