Latefa S. Baker, a 40-year-old Black woman, was killed in a shooting on U.S. 71 near Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 29, 2022. Police were called just after midnight for reports of gunfire and found Baker and an adult male inside a vehicle; both had been shot. Baker was unresponsive at the scene and later pronounced dead at a hospital. The male passenger survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say shots were fired into the car from another, unknown vehicle. A stretch of the highway was closed for several hours while authorities collected evidence. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. A reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in the area that night see the vehicles involved or hear anything that could help investigators?
