Shavon Key, 18, was shot and killed on December 21, 2022, at an apartment in the 8000 block of North Denver Avenue in Kansas City’s Northland. Officers responded about 3:00 p.m. after reports of a shooting and found her in a bedroom with a critical gunshot wound to the abdomen. She was taken to a nearby hospital and died later that day.

A 19-year-old present at the scene, identified as Ibrahim Abdi, was detained. Court filings in Clay County say Abdi told detectives he was handling a rifle that he believed was unloaded because the clip had been removed, and that he touched the trigger while the gun was pointed toward Key, after which a round left in the chamber discharged and struck her. Prosecutors charged Abdi with first-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action.

Does anyone have information about Key’s movements that afternoon or about the apartment where this happened?
