On the evening of Tuesday, December 9, 2025, authorities in Kansas City, Missouri, launched a homicide investigation following the fatal shooting of 39-year-old White male Anthony Scott Alexander, known to friends and family by the nickname "Acktion." The incident occurred late that night in the 3100 block of Kensington Avenue, a residential area where disturbances had been reported earlier in the evening.
Just before 10:30 p.m., emergency dispatchers received calls requesting assistance
at the location, with reports indicating that neighbors had heard the sounds of a disturbance followed by what appeared to be gunfire. When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered Alexander lying unresponsive on the ground outside a residence.
