In the early morning hours of April 29, 2023, 28-year-old Deontrey Jones was shot on the 7200 block of Wabash Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Officers were called about 12:30 a.m.; Jones was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators linked Jones’s killing to a second fatal shooting about thirty minutes later, roughly four blocks away near Gregory Boulevard. That night’s outbreak of violence left three men dead: Deontrey Jones, Terry Lovingood, and Joshua Ellison. Detectives treated the scenes as related and continued working to determine what sparked the attacks and who was responsible.

As of late 2023 the case remained unsolved; there were no public suspect descriptions and no arrests announced. If anyone has information that could help identify those responsible, contact Kansas City police.
