Kansas City Southwest Boulevard Nightclub Gunfire Kills Two Women

Local violence continues to escalate as this week KCMO endures no less than four deadly shootings.

Early this morning KCMO recorded the FIRST MASS SHOOTING OF 2026.  

As police continue to investigate, here is the info they're sharing with local media . . .  

Homicide 2800 block of SW Boulevard

Just after 2am Jackson County Sheriff’s deputies were in the area of 28th and Southwest Boulevard working off duty for a nightclub/bar business there when they heard the sound of gunfire inside the bar. 

At the same time 911 received calls for a shooting inside the business. 

On arrival officers were led inside the business where they located 3 adult female shooting victims. Officers began rendering aid and called for EMS to come in. 

EMS declared one shooting victim deceased here at the scene. Further they transported the other two female victims to the hospital for treatment. At the hospital one of the two victims was declared deceased, and the other victim has what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries. 

While officers were at the scene they were notified of a 4th shooting victim, an adult male, who arrived at the hospital by private vehicle. That victim is reported to be in critical condition. 

Homicide detectives are at the scene now and are investigating. They are talking to people who were at the scene when officers arrived and canvassing for additional witnesses. 

Crime scene investigators are processing the scene for evidence to give detectives a better idea of what led up to the shooting. 

Preliminary information indicates the victims were inside the business when there was an interaction with one or more suspects that escalated and led to shots being fired which struck the victims. 

There is no information at this time regarding suspect description.

If anyone was in the area or inside the business and heard or saw anything or has any information, that has not talked to police they are asked to contact Homicide detectives directly at 816-234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-TIPS. There is a reward of up to $25,000 for information submitted anonymously to the TIPS hotline.
