Charges Filed in Deadly Nightclub Shooting
A Kansas City man is now facing murder and assault charges in connection with a weekend shooting at a Southwest Boulevard nightclub that left two women dead and two others injured.
Investigators say DNA evidence collected at the scene, including from a baseball cap, helped identify the suspect. The victims, both in their 20s, were pronounced dead after the early Sunday shooting. Family members have publicly called for justice as the case moves through the courts.
Police continue asking anyone with additional information to come forward as the investigation remains active.
Search Continues for Missing 12-Year-Old
Officers are also searching for a 12-year-old boy reported missing from Kansas City’s Northland. Police say the child was last seen in mid-February and may need assistance.
Community members have been sharing his photo widely on social media in hopes of generating new leads. Authorities urge anyone who sees him or knows his whereabouts to contact the Kansas City Police Department immediately.
Mayor to Testify in Redistricting Trial

The legal battle is one of several unfolding statewide over how district maps were drawn. Local leaders argue the outcome could shape Kansas City’s influence for years to come.
We’ll continue following these stories as they develop.
