On the evening of May 3, 2020, 37-year-old Overland Park police officer Mike Mosher was killed in a shootout after he stopped a vehicle he was following. Mosher had been driving to work when he saw a hit-and-run at West 143rd Street and Antioch Road, radioed dispatch, and followed the suspect until the traffic stop near West 123rd Street and Mackey Street.

The suspect, 38-year-old Phillip Michael Carney of Overland Park, exited his vehicle and approached Officer Mosher. Mosher ordered him to get back in the car; Carney refused and then produced a handgun. Both men were struck in the exchange of gunfire. Carney was pronounced dead at the scene; Officer Mosher was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. The Johnson County District Attorney’s Office later determined Mosher’s use of deadly force was justified, and no other suspects were identified.

If anyone witnessed the hit-and-run or the traffic stop near West 123rd and Mackey on May 3, 2020, did they see anything that could help clarify what happened?
