Two men dead after Saturday night shooting inside Kansas City QuikTrip
Two men died after a Saturday night shooting inside a QuikTrip convenience store on Westport Road in Kansas City, police say.
The Kansas City Police Department identified the victims as Rickey L. Cal, 24, and Jeron Jackson, 18.
Officers were dispatched around 11:30 p.m. to the 1200 block of Westport Road, according to a press release from Officer Alayna Gonzalez.
The shooting occurred inside the QuikTrip, Gonzalez confirmed in a Sunday morning email. The gas station and convenience store is located near the Volker and West Plaza neighborhoods, about a quarter mile from the Kansas state line.
According to the KCPD news release, police found two unresponsive men inside the business appearing to suffer from gunshot wounds.
Cal was pronounced dead on the scene. Jackson was taken to the hospital with critical injuries, where he died around 7:30 a.m. Sunday.
A Facebook live video, which began minutes after police were called, showed emergency vehicles blocking eastbound Westport Road, and five officers looking at a spot on the ground.
The videographer, who goes by the screen name KC Reel, said, “Westport Road QuikTrip, they’ve got it roped off.”
No people of interest are in custody as of Sunday morning and there is no danger to the public at this time, according to Gonzalez.
The deaths mark the 56th and 57th homicides in Kansas City in 2026, compared to 69 at this time last year, according to data tracked by The Star, which includes fatal police shootings.
Police urge anyone with information to call KCPD detectives at 816-234-5043 or the anonymous TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477. There is a reward of up to $25,000 for information submitted to the TIPS hotline.
