Kaitlyn Nicole Mahurin was 20 when she was shot and killed in her Kansas City, Missouri home on June 20, 2022. Police responded to a shooting at 3:21 a.m. and found her in the kitchen with gunshot wounds to her chest and abdomen; emergency medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene eight minutes later.

A three-year-old son survives her. Several other people were in the house at the time; none of the adults reported hearing the shots and only a juvenile said they heard gunfire. Investigators found apparent bullet holes in a south-side window and shell casings in the grass beneath, consistent with shots fired from outside the residence. KC Mothers in Charge and others canvassed the neighborhood and a $25,000 reward was offered, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests reported.

Anyone who knew Kaitlyn, her routines, or who may have seen activity in the 2600 block of Cypress Avenue around that time is asked to come forward with information.
