On April 29, 2023, 29-year-old Joshua Ellison was shot and killed in Kansas City, Missouri. Officers found a white Jeep Cherokee in the westbound lanes of Gregory Boulevard just east of Paseo Boulevard shortly before 1:00 a.m.; Ellison and 40-year-old Terry Lovingood were inside with apparent gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators linked this double homicide to an earlier shooting about 30 minutes and four blocks away on the 7200 block of Wabash Avenue, where 28-year-old Deontrey Jones was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and later died.

Detectives say the victims had been at a nearby party and became involved in an altercation that escalated; Ellison and Lovingood were believed to have been trying to drive to a hospital when they succumbed to their injuries. As of late 2023 the killings remained unsolved and no suspects had been publicly named or charged.

If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, please come forward.
