A 17-year-old store employee was also shot and was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries.

The service, hosted by KCKPD and The Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #4, fell five days before Memorial Day.

On Friday, the community recognized 10 Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office deputies who have died in the line of duty, including deputy Elijah Ming, who was fatally shot on a call in July. Devin Baird, president of The Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #40, told attendees at a memorial event outside the Wyandotte County Courthouse that the last two years have been difficult: “To say it has been rough has been an understatement,” he said.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/c7a7c7b1-6f30-47f6-92a4-fb92fd293804-1779717545849.mp42026-05-25T14:04:48.629Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/missouri-state-sen-rick-brattin-is-pressuring-a2026-05-27https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/5abb39c3-867a-44b8-955e-f47003c236d7.jpgKansas City StarMissouri state Sen.

After six years of living on the streets, near Independence Avenue and The Paseo in Northeast Kansas City, her new home has given her the opportunity to breathe for once. Eden Village, a tiny home community in KCK, was designed to bring stability to people like her, who have experienced chronic homelessness. Soon, more people will have access to a similar community in Midtown KCK. Rent, including utilities, will be $400 for those who qualify to live there. Officials behind the project hope this new development will serve as yet another way that people can pitch in to address a large affordable housing shortage and prevalent homelessness in KCK, a city that has lacked a year-round homeless shelter despite officials’ plans to build one.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/b9535c34-460d-4571-822e-af4a33a610cb-1779049829089.mp42026-05-20T09:10:05.538Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/two-new-locally-owned-boutiques-have-opened-on2026-05-15https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/a0bd9a95-5f5c-4f52-9344-0430c9c79c6a.jpgKansas City StarTwo new locally owned boutiques have opened on Main Street in Parkville.

The freshman guard missed 11 games during the 2025-26 season due to various health issues. The one constant? He’s dealt with cramping issues for months, a condition that many thought first surfaced when KU played Louisville in an October exhibition game. Multiple sources have told The Star for months that Peterson’s cramping started well before that. And after KU’s loss to Houston in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals over the weekend at T-Mobile Center, he opened up about what he’s gone through and when the cramping really began. “As much as I want to say I wasn’t (thinking about that experience),” he said, “it was traumatic for me.” Read more about Peterson’s experience of cramping this season at the link above. 🎥: Alexa Stone/The Star (@Alexa (Lex) Stone) #DarrynPeterson #KUHoops #NBADraft #Basketball #CollegeBasketballhttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/69b96788b4ca98425c3a375e_1773867412752.mp42026-03-18T20:56:53.953466Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/as-ku-prepares-for-the-ncaa-tournament-darryn2026-03-18https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/753c8c2f-dd18-46a3-b408-5bf9f920eb07-1773866997717.jpgKansas City StarAs KU prepares for the NCAA Tournament, Darryn Peterson is setting the record straight: “A lot of people said wild stuff about me.”https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/753c8c2f-dd18-46a3-b408-5bf9f920eb07-1773866997717.mp42026-03-18T20:49:59.102Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/drastic-measures-is-again-a-james-beard-award2026-03-18https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/thumbnail_1773866481599.pngKansas City StarDrastic Measures is again a James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar.

Mahomes tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee in mid-December, and the team has estimated a nine-month recovery. The Chiefs received a backup quarterback Monday, as multiple national outlets reported the New York Jets are set to trade quarterback Justin Fields to Kansas City. The Chiefs will send the Jets a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for the quarterback. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added the Chiefs will pay just $3 million of the $10 million salary that Fields was guaranteed in 2026. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Fields, who must pass a physical, had other suitors, but his preference was the Chiefs.

That morning, cars streamed down I-44 outside Springfield, taking in the record-breaking warm air. But the men’s truck inched along, allegedly driving as slow as 25 miles an hour on the interstate, where the minimum speed is 40, according to the citation of the incident. That was enough for a corporal with the Missouri Highway Patrol to pull over the truck, driven by a 38-year-old man living in Branson, who, according to court records, did not have a U.S. driver’s license or vehicle registration. His passengers were a 19-year-old and a 15-year-old. Instead of arresting the driver, the trooper transported all three to the Greene County Jail, where the older two remained for weeks. Along roads across the nation — including in Missouri and Kansas — people detained for minor violations are jailed indefinitely before possibly being deported. These stops are part of controversial agreements between ICE and local and state authorities that allow officers to detain people on behalf of ICE, in exchange for the promise of money to buy vehicles and equipment, as well as salary reimbursement. Because of the 287(g) program, ICE agents are free to descend on places like Minneapolis and Chicago, while local police officers make immigration arrests in cities and rural areas in Kansas, Missouri and all over.

That will be the case for Friday’s semifinals and Saturday’s final, with the change happening late Thursday night. The change comes in the wake of several notable complaints during both the men’s and women’s tournaments, the latter of which has already concluded. Players and coaches have consistently complained about a lack of traction, in addition to concerns about the LED lights being distracting and lines being hard to make out on the floor. This swap also comes hours after Texas Tech star Christian Anderson, an All-Big 12 standout, suffered a groin injury while slipping on the court. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark issued a statement Thursday night: “After consultation with the coaches of our four semifinal teams, I have decided that in order to provide our student-athletes with the greatest level of comfort on a huge stage this weekend, we will transition to a hardwood court for the remainder of the Tournament. We look forward to a great semifinals and championship game.” Read more about the switch and controversy at the link in our bio. 🎥: Alexa Stone/The Star (@lexmadee)https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/69b864b7029cd43333e26d4d_1773699003178.mp42026-03-16T22:10:03.837819Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/today-the-chiefs-introduced-marquee-free-agent2026-03-13https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/69b3faef61c34fefebb8cf64_1773417848345.pngKansas City StarToday, the Chiefs introduced marquee free agent running back Kenneth Walker to the media. Earlier this week, Kansas City agreed to terms with the reigning Super Bowl MVP on a three-year contract worth $43.05 million, including $28.7 million guaranteed profits. Walker, 25, who spent the first four years of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, said it was the Chiefs’ swift financial commitment that made him feel valued. “It means a lot,” he said. “You feel appreciated and wanted — that’s what everybody wants. So I’m just happy to get in here and get to know the guys and work.” One of the teammates Walker is referring to is a fellow Super Bowl MVP: quarterback Patrick Mahomes. As soon as the Chiefs made the splash signing, Mahomes posted, “LET’S GO!!” on his X account.

All eyes are on the coaching search now that K-State has been eliminated from the Big 12 Tournament. BYU defeated K-State thanks to 40 points from freshman phenom AJ Dybantsa. The Wildcats countered with 27 points from PJ Haggerty and 19 points from Nate Johnson, but it wasn’t enough. Dybantsa broke Kevin Durant’s freshman scoring record in the Big 12 Tournament that Durant set in 2007 at Texas. BYU will face West Virginia in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament Wednesday. 🎥: Alexa Stone/The Star (@Alexa (Lex) Stone) #AJDybantsa #BYUBasketball #Big12MBB #Big12basketball #KStateBasketball https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/69b30efa6f3dbf5ef513f70f_1773350238292.mp42026-03-12T21:17:18.764Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/in-its-three-decades-the-big-12-mens-basketball2026-03-12https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/69b30ef92a039523a35350db_1773350133663.pngKansas City StarIn its three decades, the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament has been a showcase for some of college basketball’s — and future NBA — top talent. Former event MVPs include such stars like future Hall of Famer Paul Pierce and 16-time All-Star Kevin Durant. With NBA mock drafts as a guide, this Big 12 tournament could be the site for more future pro talent than any before it. According to the big boards, as many as 15-20 draft selections will compete in Kansas City this week. The top two players in the draft are playing here: freshmen A.J. Dybantsa of BYU and Kansas’ Darryn Peterson. The Big 12 has produced three overall No. 1 picks — Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin in 2009, Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins in 2014 and Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham in 2021 — in its three-decade history.

The city’s legal department confirmed the investigation in an email to The Star in a striking acknowledgement that the probe remains ongoing. One focus of the probe centered on Mayor pro tem Ryana Parks-Shaw and her husband, Michael Shaw, the city’s director of public works, the sources said. That element of the investigation was the focus of a recent TV report, which tied the inquiry to whether the couple used their authority for financial and professional gain. But sources who spoke with The Star also detailed a host of other questions from the FBI, a sign that the exact target of the investigation is unclear.

Nineteen-year-old Jalen Brown and 33-year-old Adam Meysing were taken to the county jail and held on unspecified charges at $250 cash bail, sheriff’s office records show. They were both released after the meeting ended, when fellow protesters showed up at the jail and raised money to post their bail. One person interrupted the commissioner’s meeting by standing and shouting, “It will be your fault when people die in this facility.” As officers pulled him from his row, the protester yelled, “Detention without due process is a concentration camp.” Within days, immigrants arrested by federal authorities could find themselves locked inside CoreCivic’s prison on the outskirts of Leavenworth after the Leavenworth City Commission approved the private prison chain’s zoning permit.

Patrons got to get their hands on Patrón and 10 other brands of tequila, such as Espolòn, Teremana, backed by actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, or Código 1530, founded by country icon George Strait. Each patron was given 12 tokens upon entering and could use it to sample each tequila station — aka by taking a shot. There was one white token in each bag that would get you a full sized cocktail at your favorite station. Local brands Mean Mule distillery and Una Familia Tequila also were in the mix, providing some Kansas City flavor to the guests in attendance.

Volunteers hang up hundreds of donated dresses and suits, all offered for free to area students, and then open their pop-up boutique. Teenagers walk the racks hunting determinedly for just the right style and fit and grinning as they try on their finds. “They go in, and they put that dress on, they come out and look at themselves in the mirror, and they smile … it’s amazing to see,” said Christy Barber, one of the many volunteers who make the church’s annual prom event possible. Each year, volunteers reach out to schools in the area and invite them to send students. Last year, the boutique served more than 1,000 students from 120 schools. Since 2005, the boutique has given away more than 26,000 dresses.

The young wife, mother and first-generation immigrant said she found out she was a 2026 James Beard semifinalist after everyone else.

Councilmember Brice Stewart and Mayor Rory Rowland voted against the proposal. The data center will include four main buildings on about 400 acres, a site about twice the size of Arrowhead Stadium. It will cost $6.6 billion to construct and will contain up to $144 billion in specialized equipment, for a total project cost around $150 billion. Councilmembers approved about $6.2 billion in tax breaks for Nebius’ future U.S. flagship facility, forfeiting potential property tax revenue for the next 20 years. Residents packed the Independence council chambers to capacity and overflowed into the lobby, with security officers turning residents away starting 15 minutes before the meeting. Many carried “No Data Center” signs on their laps or stood against the wall for hours, waiting in a line 60 deep for a turn to speak. “This isn’t going to end with this vote,” Independence resident Griffin Harness-Clark said. “There will be citizen resistance.

ASB GlassFloor, the company behind the court, has already had its floors used for different sports and entertainment events around the world — some based in America — since 2011. The floor first premiered in knockout rounds of the 2023 FIBA U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup. Six months later, it was used during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend. Later that year, they developed the second edition of the Athletes Lab, where NBA and college teams can train on the surface in Orlando in partnership with the professional league. The Germany-based manufacturer has been constructing the court since the early 2010s, constantly fine-tuning and upgrading with the rapid pace of evolving technology. And now it’s in KC.

Some of the biggest include: Travis Kelce’s possible retirement, Trent McDuffie’s future with the Chiefs and salary cap space. At this time last year — during the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine — general manager Brett Veach essentially confirmed that tight end Travis Kelce would be back with the Kansas City Chiefs for another season. This time around, Kelce’s status seems to be a bit more up in the air. “I think we’ve taken a different approach with Travis in the sense that I think we’ve prepared for either scenario,” Veach said during his combine news conference on Tuesday.“ Coach (Andy Reid) had mentioned on Friday he’s had great dialogue with Travis.” Meanwhile, All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie is entering his fifth-year option season, and cornerback Jaylen Watson and safety Bryan Cook are due to become unrestricted free agents when the new league year begins on March 11.

Graves plans to suspend overtime pay, pause all hiring for staff positions and halt all purchases for “non-critical supplies and equipment.” She told the Kansas City council members the primary cause for the budget shortfalls is a combination of legal settlements and staff overtime. In return, several council members said there needs to be more communication and transparency between the police department and the city. The City Council takes up the department’s budget tomorrow.

The brand is popular for Barbie Dolls, Hot Wheels, American Girl, Fisher-Price and more. A group developing Mattel’s newest destination center recently acquired the needed land to begin construction, so the project can move forward, according to the City of Bonner Springs. The attraction will include a Mattel-themed adventure park, hotels and other family-friendly retail spaces. Bonner Springs City Council members approved entering a STAR bond agreement with the developers and Kansas Department of Commerce to help finance the project’s construction. Using the financing tool will allow officials to draw local and state sales tax revenues generated within the incoming development toward paying off the bond debt taken out to build it. Bonner Springs granted the project a total $221 million in tax incentives to help pay for the project’s construction. That includes about $175 million in net sales and transient guest tax revenue; $15 million in tax increment financing dollars; and $31 million from a community improvement district established in the project area. The project will start in 2027 and must be completed by 2030.

The 6-foot-6, 205-pound native of Canton, Ohio, had no problems regarding the cramping issue that’s plagued him much of his one-and-done season at KU. There was one moment in the game against Houston in which it looked as if Peterson might be affected by the cramping issue. “Good. I’m feeling good,” Peterson said after scoring 14 points on 5-of-14 shooting (2-of-7 from 3) with four rebounds, one assist and two turnovers in the No. 14-ranked Jayhawks’ 69-56 victory over the Cougars. Peterson was asked about a stretch in the second half in which Houston guard Kingston Flemings hit a step back jumper in the paint guarded by Peterson. It cut KU’s lead to 49-39 with 10:54 to play. Peterson came down and drained a 3 on the ensuing possession to make it 52-39. KU men’s basketball head coach Bill Self said something to Peterson after his 3. “It was too loud, I’m not going to lie. I tried to read his lips,” Peterson said of his coach’s orders. “It was probably, ‘Just get back to playing defense.’” Read more about Peterson at the link above. #DarrynPeterson #BillSelf #KUHoops #KUbasketball #basketball https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/699f4f315bd771b32c554b1f_1772052120505.mp42026-02-25T20:42:01.27261Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/mary-and-howard-hoff-like-to-describe-their-82026-02-23https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/699c8acc36008603361f198d_1771880317941.pngKansas City StarMary and Howard Hoff like to describe their 8-acre property on Bly Road in eastern Independence — a former working cattle farm anchored by a stately house — as “a slice of heaven.”  Over the years, they’ve hosted family reunions, team banquets, chili cookouts and dozens of other outdoor gatherings. They frequently use golf carts to drive between neighbors, leaving their back gates open in case someone wants to say hello.  But now, when Howard Hoff pilots his golf cart from the top of his property to the bottom, he sees rows of bulldozers tearing into the earth where construction is soon set to begin on a data center that will fuel artificial intelligence.  European AI company Nebius plans to build a 400-acre data center in eastern Independence, in a rural patch of land off of U.S. Highway 24 and Little Blue Parkway zoned as an industrial corridor.  Since Nebius purchased the land from a Kansas City developer in November, some city leaders have touted the data center as a financial windfall and a mark of progress for Independence, expected to bring in significant tax revenue to the city and its school districts. But over on Bly Road, the Hoffs and their neighbors worry that the arrival of the data center could mean the end of their quiet, community-oriented way of life.

He sounded optimistic about tight end Travis Kelce potentially returning for a 14th NFL season. Reid wouldn’t confirm a decision, he told local reporters Kelce has remained in contact with the club. “There is communication,” Reid said via Zoom on Friday. “That’s the main thing. I’ve said this before to you: as long as there’s communication, I’m good. That means people want to move forward, and I think that’s where Trav is.” Reid also gave updates on receiver Rashee Rice and former Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill, who was released from the Miami Dolphins earlier this week. Hill was traded to the Dolphins in 2022 for five draft picks. He also signed a four-year, $120 million deal making him the highest-paid receiver at the time with his new team.

In fact, Mocha, Yemen, is thought to be the birthplace of coffee as a beverage, and mochas are named as such because Europeans associated Mocha’s beans with a chocolatey flavor — though ordering a mocha in a U.S. coffee shop will likely produce a much different drink. Yemeni coffee drinks are also often made with spices like cardamom and nuts like pistachio, and they’ve not been widely accessible in the Kansas City metro. Until Tuesday evening, that is. The metro’s first Yemeni coffee shop just opened in Overland Park, much to the delight of Kansas Citians with Middle Eastern ties who are used to driving several hours for the drinks. “We’ve had it in Dallas, but honestly, this is the best Yemeni coffee shop I’ve tried,” said a customer named Lena, whose family hails from Egypt. She asked not to give a last name. #coffee #yemenicoffee #newcoffeekc #kansascity https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/699c8a4ee333e68d88a00d20_1771879945069.mp42026-02-23T20:52:25.585991Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/a-bystander-was-filming-ice-activity-in-a-public2026-02-23https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/699c8a361be6d263b201967e_1771879772185.pngKansas City StarA bystander was filming ICE activity in a public Lawrence parking lot on Tuesday when she says an agent jumped on her with “all his weight,” injuring her arm.

Several individuals, wearing bulletproof vests marked “ICE,” were gathered near a Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers when she decided to start recording, she said. Immigration agents detained five people in Lawrence from five separate locations on Tuesday, according to video and photos captured by bystanders, including Kinuwan.

A presumptive top-three pick in this year’s NBA Draft, Peterson started out red-hot against Oklahoma State on Wednesday. But he asked to come out of the game just three minutes into the second half because of cramping. He played just 18 minutes against the OSU Cowboys but still managed to score 23 points, and KU went on to win comfortably. The Jayhawks’ victory, however, wasn’t the focus of social-media chatter that night or Thursday morning. It seemed like everyone from national media to hoops fans in general had an opinion about Peterson and his early exit — and his season so far for the Jayhawks.

Federal agents allegedly peering through the windows of a community center that houses the Boys & Girls Club. Five arrests in five different locations around Lawrence in the span of one day. ICE is making its presence known in northeast Kansas. Parts of Johnson County — Olathe in particular — are seeing increased immigration enforcement in recent days, following news that plans to transform a vacant south Kansas City warehouse into an ICE mega detention center had been scuttled. The arrival of federal immigration agents in diverse communities across and beyond the Kansas City metro has heightened anxiety among residents. “It is heartbreaking and horrific to know that we’ve got folks — I mean, we’ve seen it in other places, including Minneapolis and now here in Kansas — where people are scared to leave their homes,” Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids said Tuesday after an event in Overland Park. In an email statement to The Star, ICE spokesperson Rob Hughes declined to answer specific questions about the agency’s operations in the metro area. He suggested that doing so could jeopardize officers’ safety.

People need to know, Okaman said, that they shouldn’t let their immigration status keep them from seeking local assistance when they need it. Whether that’s from police or other agencies, especially domestic violence shelters. Ingris Carolina Damas Morales, 20, was shot and killed Jan. 31 by her ex-boyfriend, Josue Avila-Carcamo. Just eight days before, officers had picked up Avila-Carcamo on an outstanding warrant, the chief said, stemming from a July 2024 domestic violence incident involving Morales, who did not have legal residency status in the United States. In 2024, Oakman’s department supported Morales as she applied — and received — a temporary restraining order against Avila-Carcamo, the chief said. But when it came to going to court to obtain a full order, Morales didn’t show up for her court date, Oakman said. That temporary order expired sometime in 2024. “What’s concerning is that she may have not gotten the resources that she needed and that are available to her, probably because of her immigration status,” Oakman said. “I think that fear really probably reduced her chances of getting resources that she actually needed.” Read the full story at the link above. #ICE #news #kansascity #kansas #KCKhttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/69977dce71536e60496316b5_1771595825781.mp42026-02-20T13:57:07.028648Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/three-individuals-in-lawrence-kansas-were-stopped2026-02-18https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6995dc58f5e030b2332d6597_1771448474251.pngKansas City StarThree individuals in Lawrence, Kansas, were stopped, handcuffed and detained by ICE and other federal immigration agents today, according to video and photos captured by bystanders and distributed by a local activists group. “We have received reports of ICE activity in West Lawrence and South Lawrence,” Lawrence-based Sanctuary Alliance reported Tuesday, posting images on its social media. “We can confirm 5 total confirmed sighting (sic). We can confirm 3 detainments.” Images captured by an eyewitness show as many as four agents, with one in a vest marked ICE, for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and another marked ERO, for Enforcement and Removal Operations, taking individuals into custody at three locations. They included one individual detained between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. at 23rd and Iowa streets, another taken into custody at about 8:30 a.m. in the parking lot for Hobby Lobby and El Potro Mexican cafe at 34th and Iowa streets, and a third taken into custody at about 9 a.m. in the parking lot for Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and Kwik Trip at 25th and Iowa streets.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones wasted no time putting on his recruiting hat, tagging Hill on Twitter/X and writing, “It’s (time),” with a clock emoji. But is a reunion with Hill and the Chiefs truly possible? When the Chiefs and Hill couldn’t agree to terms on a long-term extension in 2022, Kansas City traded him to Miami for five draft picks — a first, a second, two fourth-rounders and a sixth. Hill saw continued individual success in Miami but never reached the team success he had in KC. The Chiefs went on to win back-to-back Super Bowls in 2022-23 after moving on from the receiver. In Week 4 of 2025, Hill suffered a devastating knee injury that required surgery. Considering his age, some had wondered if that could lead him into retirement. But on Monday, Hill thanked the Dolphins via Instagram while hinting that he would make a return to the field in the future.

She was “short and spunky,” said Tasha Silas, her cousin. Along a busy stretch of road in an industrial part of Kansas City’s Westside, Eboni Silas’ loved ones held a balloon release in her memory after she was shot and killed inside Status Nightclub early Sunday morning.

The club acquired outfielder Isaac Collins and reliever Nick Mears from the Milwaukee Brewers. Additionally, the Royals added veteran relief duo Matt Strahm and Alex Lange to bolster the late innings.  “You know, the more experience you have down there, the more opportunity for success,” pitcher Lucas Erceg said. “... It’s all gonna help us create success a little bit more consistently. As long as we are all on the same page and doing the right things, I don’t doubt that we’re gonna turn some heads this year.”  In a lot of ways, the Royals felt they elevated their roster. The club surrounded its top core — Witt, Maikel Garcia, Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez — with supporting pieces to accelerate the current timeline. Plus, the fences are moving in at Kauffman Stadium — which means the club expects an influx of extra-base hits this year.  Get our dispatch from spring training at the link above.  #Royals #KansasCity #KCRoyals #MLB #SpringTraining https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6994b9de73a9723b2cc13031_1771376956462.mp42026-02-18T01:09:17.38211Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/neisha-robinson-and-her-boyfriend-had-only-been2026-02-18https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6994b9c9447a927422a85d80_1771376797218.pngKansas City StarNeisha Robinson and her boyfriend had only been inside the packed Status Nightclub early Sunday morning for about 15 minutes when everything changed. “There were no fights or anything — no commotion,” Robinson, 28, said. “The music was still playing. People were still dancing. And then you hear the first pop.” People kept dancing, she said, “because we’re not thinking that somebody‘s inside shooting.” Only someone was inside shooting. “Once the second and third shots go off, everybody is taking off, running and hitting the ground,” Robinson said. “And then it’s like, I want to say, like five more back to back (shots) happen.” On Tuesday morning, prosecutors announced charges against a Kansas City, Kansas, man for two counts of second-degree murder. Dontae M Brooks, 27, was taken into custody Monday. In addition to the two murder counts, he’s charged with four counts of armed criminal action, one count of first-degree assault and two weapon crimes. Brooks is charged in the death of Eboni Silas, 29, and Tishauna Ballard, 24, who were inside the club at the time of the shooting.

Jackson County Sheriff’s deputies were working off duty in the area of 28th Street and Southwest Boulevard around 2 a.m. when they heard gunfire inside a bar. At the same time, 911 received calls about a shooting from inside the building, according to Capt. Jake Becchina, spokesperson for the Kansas City Police Department. Upon arrival, officers were led into the business where they found three women who were shot, and began rendering aid until medics arrived. One woman was declared dead at the scene. The other two were taken to the hospital, where one of them later died, according to Becchina. A fourth shooting victim, a man, was transported to the hospital by a private vehicle. He is in critical condition, according to Becchina. The third woman who was shot sustained non-life threatening injuries. Later Sunday morning, police tape still surrounded a business on the block marked with the name Blvd Nights. Police have not confirmed the name of the nightclub where the shooting occurred, and maps of the scene show several clubs located there.

As part of a Valentine’s Day event, Café Corazón welcomed Cafecitón, a Latin and brunch club, to host the competition. The club welcomes around 350 guests to the café each time it hosts events, according to organizers. On Saturday, the order line at Café Corazón had more energy than usual as a conga line snaked through hundreds of guests to a DJ playing Latin pop in the café’s intimate lobby. At the event Saturday, some attendees quietly sipped coffee in anticipation, while others grabbed a friend, significant other and hit a makeshift dance floor next to the order line. At one point, an employee brought out a broomstick and initiated the limbo. What did the winning "Benito" have to say?

On Sunday, the Wildcats decided to part ways with Tang even though six games remain in the regular season. The move comes as a surprise, if only because of its timing. K-State athletic director Gene Taylor is not usually one to fire a coach in the middle of a season. But the end did seem near for Tang, as the losses have really piled up for the Wildcats this year. “This was a decision that was made in the best interest of our university and men’s basketball program,” Taylor said in a statement. “Recent public comments and conduct, in addition to the program’s overall direction, have not aligned with K-State’s standards for supporting student-athletes and representing the university.” Taylor confirmed at a news conference Sunday night that K-State is firing Tang “for cause.” Tang could fight K-State’s decision in court. In a statement, he said he is “deeply disappointed” and “strongly” disagrees with the characterization of his firing.

Someone’s probably just expecting a package. Amazon announced Feb. 9 that its Prime Air drone delivery service is now live in the Kansas City metro. The drones will carry packages that weigh up to five pounds and will travel within a 7.5-mile distance during daylight hours. Amazon describes the drone delivery as an “ultra-fast delivery service” that reduces road traffic and lowers carbon emissions. The idea was first brought up in April 2025, when an Amazon representative told The Star that the company was considering bringing delivery drones to the city. KC is the seventh metro area in the country to get drone delivery.

Electricians, ironworkers, bricklayers, pipe fitters. The crews who build the city. Port KC isn’t mainly about barges and grain terminals anymore. It’s one of the city’s most powerful development-finance shops. Under state law, it can issue bonds, grant decades-long property-tax abatements, exempt construction materials from sales tax and structure the standard lease-back deal that makes all of that possible. And when the biggest subsidized projects in town all run through one agency, that agency ends up shaping who gets hired and how they get paid. In August 2025, the group says it reached an agreement with Port KC that construction projects on port property or using port incentives would be subject to Missouri’s prevailing wage and minimum apprenticeship standards. The goal, they say, was to make sure public subsidies also produced trained local workers and career pathways. Now, they argue that commitment hasn’t materialized.

Students walked along Johnson Drive for several blocks, holding handmade signs that bore pro-immigration messages and opposition to ICE  Police officers blocked traffic and cars honked in support of the students as they walked down the busy street. Several students walked holding Guatemalan, Cuban and American flags. “I’m really proud of how many people showed up,” Shawnee Mission North junior Anna Culley said. “That also made it much easier — that there are a lot of people that are passionate about it.”  Shawnee Mission North’s student walkout comes at a time when several other schools and residents across the KC metro have protested immigration enforcement activity.  Read more at the link above. #OverlandPark #KansasCity #Protest #ICE https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/698e3862bf07e5b24b23b07e_1770972919189.mp42026-02-13T08:55:20.21383Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/royals-beat-reporter-jaylon-thompson-breaks-it2026-02-11https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/698d09722937ce4fea2dcc5a_1770854263202.pngKansas City StarRoyals beat reporter Jaylon Thompson breaks it all down from Surprise, Arizona.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/698d09722937ce4fea2dcc5a_1770854263202.mp42026-02-11T23:57:44.044804Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/the-kansas-city-royals-have-high-expectations-for2026-02-11https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/698d091f5b66abc59cfd6d49_1770854253714.pngKansas City StarThe Kansas City Royals have high expectations for the 2026 season.

Some 64 years later, the development is officially coming down, following years of decay, neglect and abandonment. In the year since the property has been vacant, and fenced off, 27 fires have gutted or scorched empty units, located between Truman Road and 18th Street, Woodland and Brooklyn avenues. Demolition is expected to take approximately 60 to 75 days. Once the site is down and cleared, construction is scheduled to begin as soon as this spring on the first phase of a $300 million housing development of 1,100 mixed-use living units, to include condos, townhomes and flats, of which 470 units will be affordable for low-income and senior residents.

The establishment has been cosigned by Patrick Mahomes, Barack Obama and Paul Rudd, and continues to be a staple when it comes to Kansas City barbecue.

Both sides of the state line remain in play. So does a Clay County location, Sherman said. Even remaining at Kauffman Stadium beyond the current lease that expires after the 2030 season, undesirable as it might be, remains a possibility. “That’s always a fallback position, we have that option,” Sherman said Saturday. “But that’s not something we intend to happen. That would be, from my perspective, kicking the can down the road relative to making sure we settle the Royals into their next generation.” Last week, the Royals announced they were no longer considering the Aspiria campus in Overland Park. But Sherman didn’t close the door on either possibility. “We made the decision to walk away from the Aspiria site,” Sherman said. “But we still have opportunities on that side of the state line.” Read more about the Royals’ potential stadium move at the link above. #KansasCity #KansasCityRoyals #JohnSherman #MLB #Baseball https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/698230ef5e6d8a8810ddefab_1770333519561.mp42026-02-05T23:18:40.327402Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/there-are-hundreds-of-vacant-and-contaminated2026-02-05https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/698237ff33564770e72158ab_1770333214415.pngKansas City StarThere are hundreds of vacant and contaminated lots in the neighborhood that were created by city demolition, now no one can build on them because they are full of hazardous waste.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/698237ff33564770e72158ab_1770333214415.mp42026-02-05T23:13:35.451888Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/a-semi-hauling-roofing-materials-struck-the-low2026-02-05https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/698237a71ccc4e0947ca9b89_1770332951653.pngKansas City StarA semi hauling roofing materials struck the low-clearance Independence Avenue bridge in Kansas City, spilling supplies; driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/698237a71ccc4e0947ca9b89_1770332951653.mp42026-02-05T23:09:12.758977Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/join-a-talented-latina-artisan-as-she-shares-her2026-02-05https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/698237e6fa57a00944c50cf3_1770328489249.pngKansas City StarJoin a talented Latina artisan as she shares her journey in crafting beautiful, floral-inspired ceramic cups.

Last night, residents from Kansas City, Kansas, and Olathe told their respective governing bodies what they think about the Chiefs moving into their backyards and how much they want to pitch in to help finance the team’s proposed move. Olathe voted unanimously to put local tax dollars toward the new Chiefs facilities and KCK Commissioners will vote tomorrow whether to direct some local sales tax revenue to ward paying for the new domed stadium in Wyandotte. The package includes a $3 billion stadium in KCK and a new nearly $1 billion training facility and team headquarters in Olathe. The facilities will be surrounded by entertainment districts, Gov. Laura Kelly said during their announcement in Topeka. Interested in where the Chiefs want to set up shop?

So as far as this particular project … it’s a fairly easy decision tonight.” The City Council’s unanimous decision will allow the city to direct local, incremental sales and use tax revenues from a 165-acre site on the northwest corner of College Boulevard and Ridgeview Road, just south of Kansas Highway 10, for 30 years, to help finance the team’s new facilities in Kansas. Despite several residents’ skepticism about Olathe committing local tax revenue to the Chiefs — in part due to the wealth of the team’s billionaire owner Clark Hunt — the City Council felt that this would help develop an area that has otherwise sat untouched. Olathe’s approval marks the first step toward Kansas’ goal of bringing the Chiefs to the Sunflower state after state and team officials announced in December their near-$4 billion plan to build a new domed stadium in Wyandotte County and state-of-the-art training facility and headquarters in Olathe.

Several Kansas City businesses cut their hours, and some closed Friday, to show solidarity.  “Don’t let them tell you that this isn’t significant,” said Mitch Schiller, an organizer with the Party for Socialism and Liberation - Kansas City. “And also prepare for the next one, because we’re just going to keep showing them what it means to be powerful.” Read more at the link in our bio.  🎥: Emily Curiel/The Star (@shortlittlekidd), Dominick Williams/The Star (@domvisions) & Eleanor Nash/The Star (@eleanorcnash)https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6980c6599385d8ac4c5b0cbb_1770048888797.mp42026-02-02T16:14:54.737372Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/betty-raes-just-opened-its-first-standalone-ice2026-02-02https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6980c95e81060a033a200cc1_1770048630661.pngKansas City StarBetty Rae's just opened its first standalone ice cream shop in Lee's Summit.

In Bieniemy’s absence, the Chiefs repeated as Super Bowl champions the next season — followed by a runner-up finish and a season that went off the rails in 2025.  The 56-year-old went on to offensive coordinator roles with Washington (2023) and UCLA (2024), then re-entered the NFL this past year as the Bears’ running backs coach. He held the role for an upstart Chicago team that made the postseason for the first time since Matt Nagy’s tenure as head coach.  It all felt connected and familiar Wednesday, beginning with Bieniemy greeting several reporters he recognized before thanking the Bears organization. He also referenced “Big Red” and returning “home.”  In a 17-minute session, the most telling point might have been how quickly it all came together.

A few hours later, through the same source, Nagy’s replacement Eric Bieniemy was welcomed back to his former role. Nagy remains on the hunt for a new job, and Andy Reid became his top reference while speaking to reporters today. Reid has long preferred spearheading the offense, which is why the club and Nagy agreed to part ways. If Nagy doesn’t land a head-coaching opportunity, the message has been that he would like to find a play-calling role elsewhere. That means that even with Bieniemy returning, nothing is expected to change from a play-calling standpoint for the Chiefs. “I still enjoy calling plays, but what I do is I’m not afraid to delegate and get opinions from people,” Reid said. “And then, even in certain situations, letting them go ahead and call things in different areas. So we do this jointly. I keep it open, and I’ve felt that (it’s) the best way” Read more about Bieniemy’s return to KC at the link in our bio.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6978d0fb7efb02eee0206565_1769529599494.mp42026-01-27T16:00:03.846Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/after-more-than-five-years-of-free-buses-in2026-01-26https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6977adceca914a0f2ccb0325_1769451246227.pngKansas City StarAfter more than five years of free buses in Kansas City, fares will return to RideKC. Soon, most of the system’s 12.2 million riders each year will have to open their wallets to ride. This came after months of contract negotiations between KCATA and the City of Kansas City, with KCATA threatening to cut nearly half of its routes as costs rose without the city contributing more funding.  In 2020, Kansas City became the first major metropolitan city in the U.S. to eliminate fares, earning recognition for Mayor Quinton Lucas and praise from former president Joe Biden.  However, paying for the program has been a problem since the beginning.  In 2024, The Star found that the city did not contribute the promised additional money from a transit tax to pay for free buses when funding related to COVID-19 ran out. Instead, officials used more than two years worth of free fares to install new LED streetlights. Budgeting for the bus fares will be finalized at the end of January.

Hamilton, a Kansas City native, founded his nonprofit Disabled But Not Really in 2015 after sustaining a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed in 2012. His personal journey inspired him to create spaces where people with disabilities — and their families — can prioritize wellness together. This new space, which opened in October, offers a gym, recovery room with all bodies in mind and a co-working space to prioritize productivity during a busy day. “I wanted to create a space that I felt seen in and that didn’t create so many barriers,” said Hamilton.

The legislature reconvened for its 2026 session last week, where state lawmakers are expected to focus on issues like income tax cuts, cost of living, housing and food access until the session ends in May. Today’s protest, organized by a range of local activist groups, came on the heels of one of the most explosive years in recent political history. Attendees protested Missouri lawmakers’ recent votes on a proposed abortion ban, a gerrymandered congressional map, a plan to overhaul the state’s form of direct democracy and the overturning of a voter-approved sick leave law.

The field of competitors had narrowed from 456 to just five on season two of the reality TV show Squid Game: The Challenge, and the Liberty nativee had made it to the season’s finale. “It’s gonna be hard winning,” he said in an interview in the episode. “I know that sounds dumb, but it’s going to be really hard winning, because you’re gonna develop these friendships and develop these connections, and you’re gonna want them to win, you know what I mean? So, if I get far in this game, it’s gonna suck because you know I have to take out 455 people so I can be the one to win.” With tears in his eyes, he flipped the game on its head and chose to play his way, to eliminate himself from the game and offer the other players a free path forward. “I’m doing this because I love each one of your stories,” he told the other players in the episode. “I legit do. And I’d rather one of you guys win it instead of me. I’m not trying to do this for show or anything. I talk about it all the time, I hate having to keep eliminating people. And the closer I got with each one of ya’ll, it just breaks my heart, so I cannot do it.” Read more about Parriman’s journey on Squid Game at the link above. #SquidGame #SquidGameonNetflix #Netflix #SquidGametheChallenge #TrinityParriman https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/697790561f093c3d6ba4cfad_1769448586064.mp42026-01-26T17:29:50.624Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/city-leaders-warned-the-public-to-stay-indoors2026-01-26https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/69778ff94f04feb497d2d7dd_1769448586064.pngKansas City StarCity leaders warned the public to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel during the upcoming storm while outlining plans to treat, plow and clear major streets across Kansas City.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/69778ff94f04feb497d2d7dd_1769448586064.mp42026-01-26T17:29:49.65Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/as-a-19-year-old-from-the-inner-city-of-kc-rovv2026-01-26https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/696fc0d28f7d986bd6a03b22_1769443059405.pngKansas City StarAs a 19-year-old from the inner city of KC, Darrion Nimrod created The Outsiders Social Club as a safe space for young adults who were combating their mental health.

Between the COVID pandemic and worsening water concerns, customers’ shopping experience had been impaired for years. Clint’s dates back in some form to the 1960s, and from the mid-1970s Cavanaugh ran the shop, which was tied to pioneering direct distribution for comic books while shaping a loyal customer base locally and beyond. Clint’s has been featured in media coverage over the years, and Cavanaugh was known for his colorful character and vivid stories. Cavanaugh died in May 2017 during a robbery incident, which police investigated as a homicide, and the community built around the shop mourned. His wife, Sharon Farris, took over the store. The water issues began to emerge inside the shop in the historic Southwell Building off Main Street in Westport a few months later in 2017, and continued for years, Farris said. Last month, Kansas City declared the historic building dangerous.

It was early in the morning and a 5-minute bike ride, but Airen never made it. Attacked along the way by a vicious dog or dogs, he was killed. But nobody, except perhaps for one man, heard or saw it happen. What’s made it even harder, residents say, is the struggle to come to terms with the alleged disturbing and criminal acts of Damon B. Leonard, the 47-year-old neighbor and friend to the Andulas. Leonard, now in custody, is the suspected owner of the dangerous dogs. The Andulas moved from the Kansas City area into “the country” about a year ago to be away from the dangers of city life. Some neighbors cast Leonard as someone who tended to yell at others for breaking rules that affected him and his property, such as driving faster than 10 miles per hour in front of his yard, while at other times, not tethering his own dogs.

In late December, state officials unveiled plans for Kansas to publicly finance $1.8 billion of construction costs for a $3 billion domed stadium in Wyandotte County and up to $975 million for a new training facility and headquarters in Johnson County using a controversial funding tool called sales tax and revenue, or STAR, bonds. The deal pledged a 60-40 funding split, with public money covering the bulk of the project. Instead of sales tax dollars otherwise funding things like highways, schools and other services, a portion of state sales tax revenue in virtually all of Wyandotte County and a broad swath of western Johnson County will be diverted to the stadium project for up to 30 years. On top of the state sales taxes, cities can vote to commit their local sales tax revenue to paying back the stadium debt, too.

But the vehicles have nothing to do with any planned enforcement locally, according to City Council member Johnathan Duncan. Duncan said that marked United States ICE vehicles seen in a Kansas City parking lot, located in the 9400 block of Northeast Parvin Road near Worlds of Fun, are not part of an operation that’ll happen in KC. Instead, they are simply being worked on by a local company. Duncan told The Star that when online chatter began circulating about the vehicles parked in a lot, he was immediately inundated with phone calls from constituents. Duncan said he reached out to other city officials to find out what was occurring. “I got a call from our liaison soon, soon thereafter, who said that it is their understanding that there’s an automotive company that was contracted to decal those vehicles,” he said. Holman Automotive reportedly held a contract to work on those vehicles. Company officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Clay County Prosecutor’s Office on Tuesday charged Jeffrey Traviss King with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. King is currently being held in Clay County jail on a $5 million bond. Police identified the victim as 41-year-old Chris Wells, a neighbor to King. Multiple neighbors said King had caused issues in the neighborhood for as long as many could remember. They say King would frequently park multiple vehicles along the street, to the point where school buses could not drive through. Neighbors told The Star that King was on probation following a dispute with Wells where he had broken the mirror off his vehicle. Court records show that King was found guilty at trial for property damage and received two years of probation and a 30-day suspended sentence.

The Star’s photo archives from the 1900s are now online and free to access for everyone.  Star staffers and our friends over at the @kclibrary — who helped organize the massive project — picked a few of our favorite historical shots from the archives.  From weddings and sporting events to protests and classroom shots, there are over 500,000 pictures publicly available on our newly launched website.  Dig in at the link in our bio.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/696801205bca2f9202d4e535_1768429375406.mp42026-01-14T22:23:01.255Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/for-the-17th-straight-year-kansas-city-restaurant2026-01-14https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/696801160dc32915852fc154_1768429375406.pngKansas City StarFor the 17th straight year, Kansas City Restaurant Week is now here. The 10-day dining experience starts Friday, Jan. 9 and runs through Sunday, Jan. 18, featuring more than 200 participating restaurants across the metro that are offering “prix fixe” menus at discounted price points. With a wide range of food options, as well as some places with carryout and delivery options, this year’s Restaurant Week has something for everybody. We got an early look at some of the menus at a VIP preview event earlier this week, and from comfort food classics to elevated plates, several bites stood out.

Two people were charged in Kansas City Municipal Court last Monday with trespassing for alleged violations at the address where the group serves meals, according to court records. “I told you that you are on private property, and you’re trespassing,” one uniformed officer says as he secures handcuffs around one person’s wrists. In an email to The Star, a KCPD spokesperson said police received “multiple complaints from nearby businesses and residents” starting Jan. 1. “Food is a human right,” KC Food Not Bombs said in a social media post. “We have the right to public spaces, and the right to demonstration.” Read more about the incident at the link in above. #KansasCity #KansasCityFood #kansascitylocal #kansascitylocalnews https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/696801724500b3420cbc6a41_1768429375406.mp42026-01-14T22:23:00.5Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/the-company-that-brought-a-data-center-to-the2026-01-14https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/69680157c2bc1032d638cab3_1768429375406.pngKansas City StarThe company that brought a data center to The Star’s former home in the Crossroads just over a year ago has since purchased the entire building as work continues to transform it into a tech hub and AI campus for Kansas City. Patmos, which is now headquartered in the big green glass building in downtown KC, offers data services for web hosting, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other functions with an eye toward being an alternative to big tech companies. The site was once eyed to be replaced by a new Royals stadium before Jackson County voters rejected a sales tax extension in April 2024.

The Jayhawks blew out No. 2 Iowa State last night in a 84-63 dominant win that displayed their best performance of the season. Peteson played 27 minutes, including 12 in the second half. He checked out of the game with 5:45 left and the Jayhawks leading by 23 points. He’s missed nine contests out of 17 this season for KU. Those absences have been for a number of health issues, including preseason cramping, a hamstring strain, a separate quad issue and even illness. After the dominant win, Peterson opened up about his injury issues for the first time since November. “It was definitely frustrating because I want to be out there with my guys, I want to be out there for Coach and also for myself at the end of the day,” Peterson said. “It is what it is. I’ve got to just keep going forward, get better every day. That’s all I can ask for.” Read more about Peterson and KU’s win at the link above. #DarrynPeterson #KUBasketball #KUHoops #BillSelf #Big12conference https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/696801503610982fb9072a7b_1768429375406.mp42026-01-14T22:22:59.979Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/sporting-kansas-city-fans-got-their-first-glimpse2026-01-14https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6968017848e11149e1b2f2ce_1768429375406.pngKansas City StarSporting Kansas City fans got their first glimpse of the club’s new head coach during his introductory news conference earlier this week. That introduction came after the club announced Monday that Raphael Wicky has been hired to the head coaching position on a 2 1/2-year contract. “It’s not measurable, but I believe that if we can create and implement the culture we want, that we have better possibilities to be successful on the field,” Wicky said. Wicky had heard good things about Sporting KC and the city of Kansas City prior to his arrival when he coached rival side Chicago Fire during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Most recently, he coached Swiss Super League club BSC Young Boys from 2022-24, in which the team scored 193 goals in 88 matches.

For Salaam, the launch of the Pritzy Floral Design Studio in South KC is about putting something in place that outlives her. It is a brick-and-mortar statement about ownership, creativity and staying power in an industry where Black business owners, especially on the floral side, have often been underrepresented or overlooked. Pritzy Floral also carries a second message: she is not opening a traditional neighborhood florist with a standard walk-in counter and a back room of buckets. She is building a modern design operation that connects to the work she has already been doing in the urban core for years through events, decor and small-business entrepreneurship. “I’m letting people know through social media, through websites, through the content that we produce, that we’re here and we’re ready to make a mark on this industry,” she said.

The 40-year-old Washington, D.C., native had always had an affinity for art, but it wasn’t until a few years later that he began dabbling in selling his work, letting his love for Kansas City inspire his artwork. This year, sales of his watercolor prints of Kansas City have gone through the roof, and with that, a new business venture has emerged. Davis, a father of three, got the idea of launching an affordable snail mail art club after he watched artists in other cities do the same on TikTok and thrive. In November, he mailed out the first edition. He expected to have around 10 subscribers, but ended up with 200. The next month he got 360. And it just keeps going up.

Eventually, Will Smith got looped in, and “Bel-Air” — Peacock’s most-streamed original series — was born. Last month, its fourth and final season premiered. Over the weekend, @Jabari Banks, who plays the lead role of Will Smith in the show, held an acting masterclass in KC with a 90-minute workshop focused on character, emotion and on-camera truth. The actor spent over three extra hours beyond the 90-minute slotted schedule with Kansas City actors. “This is the birthplace of Bel-Air, so you know I had to pay homage,” Banks said.

But for the past 15 years, it’s been the perfect evening for a night of arts and entertainment at a popular weekly open mic event called Soul Sessions. As has happened for over a decade, potential performers and their audience pour through the doors of the hosting establishment as the house band starts to play and one person after another steps forward to put their name on the sign-up list. Earlier this month, Soul Sessions, said to be one of Kansas City’s longest-running open mic nights, staged its second show at its new home. The event, which began at The Kansas City Juke House, a bar and grill in the historic 18th and Vine Jazz District, has moved to Elevation Grille, a roomy Raytown spot owned by former Chiefs player Alfonso Hodge.

A silver, 18-inch tube television with a DVD/VHS combo player is playing ”Married with Children.” An arcade version of the NBA Jam video game is buzzing next to a wooden armoire graced by family photos. It looks and sounds like every millennial’s childhood after-school spot. But Gnarly Hussle also features something that sets their shop apart from the average thrift store: a dive bar in the back. “We recommend people come in and grab a drink first,” Quinn said. “A lubricated shopper tends to spend a bit more and we have a motto, ‘Drink responsibly, shop recklessly.’” Take an inside look at the quirky spot at the link in above. 📸: Dominick Williams/The Star (@DOM) #GnarlyHussle #kansascityvintage #Raytown #kansascitythrift #thriftfinds https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/695bd897e20fc21c0218e884_1768423394937.mp42026-01-14T20:43:19.46Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/the-truth-is-that-travis-kelce-isnt-talking-about-bl8z2026-01-14https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/695bd869dcefc48c92333008_1768423394937.pngKansas City StarThe truth is that Travis Kelce isn’t talking about his future, even after playing what might be his last game at Arrowhead. He’s not talking because he says he won’t let himself reach a decision on his future until after the season. There is one game left. There are conversations with family and friends left, too. Which means the only important thing you could possibly glean from the Broncos grinding out an ugly win against what’s left of this year’s Chiefs will have to wait. But Kelce certainly seemed to take an extra few seconds to soak in the crowd’s loud ovation as he strutted through the tunnel during pre-game introductions. At one point, he came to a complete stop and spread his arms out wide, one to each side. You couldn’t help but wonder if he recognized it might be his last time walking through that tunnel.

The Chiefs are moving to Kansas — Kansas City, Kansas. The stadium will be built in Wyandotte County and will be surrounded by an entertainment district, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said. A new team headquarters and a practice facility will be built in Olathe, she said. The announcement came after a group of top lawmakers in Topeka voted unanimously to approve a deal negotiated with Chiefs ownership by Lt. Gov.

In recent weeks, the 36-year-old future Hall of Famer has declined to confirm if he will be hanging it up at the conclusion of the season, but there have been quiet indications all year that it’s likely the case. With that, this Christmas game becomes more than a sour footnote in a lost season; it should serve as a final goodbye to one of the most important players in the stadium’s history. On the field, no Chiefs player has caught more touchdowns from Patrick Mahomes than Kelce, who caught 59 of his franchise-leading 85 career touchdowns from the two-time MVP.

Their next game will be a road matchup against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday — their first game this season with Chiefs backup QB Gardner Minshew starting. Patrick Mahomes is currently beginning rehab on surgery he had earlier this week to repair his torn LCL and ACL. Kansas City dropped to 6-8 with its 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Titans fell to 2-12 with their 37-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Several car crashes and vehicles getting stuck in the snow have been reported. Some school districts in the KC metro had canceled classes or moved to virtual learning in anticipation of the snow, including Blue Springs, Independence, Braymer, North Platte, Odessa, and West Platte school districts.

PornHub, in a statement to website visitors, called the rule ineffective and a risk to user privacy. The new rule requires adult websites to verify users’ ages, such as uploading a government-issued ID, before allowing access. Former Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, initiated the rule last spring and his Republican successor, Catherine Hanaway, carried it out on Monday. Hanaway championed the website’s decision to shut down as proof that the rule was needed, framing it as a victory for families. Missouri’s policy, which was enacted without state legislation, illustrated the state’s most aggressive response to the adult industry in recent history. While displaying obscene material to minors is already illegal under federal law, the new rule has raised privacy concerns.

That’s how good of a game was played at Allen Fieldhouse.  The Jayhawks trailed TCU by as many as 16 points in the second half. They trailed by 15 with less than five minutes left. They trailed by nine with 1:14 to play. And yet, Kansas rallied to force overtime.  And late-game heroics? There were plenty, including from star freshman Darryn Peterson. He made three clutch free throws to send the game to overtime.  His teammates took it from there. Kansas survived a Big 12 thriller 104-100.  “I’ll leave here very, very thankful,” coach Bill Self said postgame, “knowing that we caught a break tonight.” Read more of our analysis at the link above. #KU #NCAABasketball #TCU #Lawrence #KansasJayhawks https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/695ec4b3d2a92995131560d8_1767827629458.mp42026-01-07T23:13:53.585Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/melvin-council-jr-and-flory-bidunga-break-down2026-01-07https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/695ec46b5abe3a314abff214_1767827629458.pngKansas City StarMelvin Council Jr. and Flory Bidunga break down the final chaotic seconds, the emotions at the free-throw line, and the mindset shift that carried Kansas into overtime and a dramatic comeback win over TCU at Allen Fieldhouse.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/695ec46b5abe3a314abff214_1767827629458.mp42026-01-07T23:13:53.385Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/raphael-wicky-newly-appointed-head-coach-of2026-01-07https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/695ec46932bc7c8df3d2c240_1767827453474.pngKansas City StarRaphael Wicky, newly appointed head coach of Sporting Kansas City, spoke about the club’s culture, facilities and supporters, emphasizing the responsibility of players and coaches to bring energy and intensity that fuels the crowd.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/695ec46932bc7c8df3d2c240_1767827453474.mp42026-01-07T23:10:56.365Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/wyandotte-county-has-a-lot-of-feelings-about-the-76ft2026-01-07https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/695bd88834a7ec134fa23819_1767818357509.pngKansas City StarWyandotte County has a lot of feelings about the Kansas City Chiefs moving into town. And in the neighborhoods surrounding where that recently-approved, $3 billion domed stadium is expected to be built, those feelings vary by the household. Less than 24 hours after local, state and team officials announced Wyandotte County would be the Chiefs’ new home starting in the 2031 season, people living in western KCK told The Star they felt a sense of victory over snatching an NFL team and had concerns about game day traffic and noise. According to the sales tax and revenue, or STAR bonds agreement, legislators approved earlier this week, the Chiefs will play games at a stadium to be built in KCK near Interstate 70 and Interstate 435, which encompasses the westernmost parts of the city. The deal approved Monday also includes a team headquarters and a training facility that will be built in Olathe.

Opinion columns provide independent perspectives on key community issues, and are separate from our newsroom reporting. Lee’s Summit quietly paid a $2 million settlement with former city prosecutor Terri Round — a staggering amount of money the public should have known about. When a governmental body pays a former employee seven figures to settle a lawsuit, taxpayers deserve to know the circumstances behind the litigation and its conclusion. The city paid its former chief prosecutor $1.4 million in damages and $100,000 in lost wages, according to the agreement. Two of Round’s attorneys were paid $250,000 each to cover legal costs. Yet no one at City Hall thought it was a good idea to inform taxpayers they were on the hook for that $2 million? A confidentiality clause in the agreement precluded Round or the city from divulging information about the agreement — and therein lies the problem. But that’s not all: A similar lawsuit making its way through the legal system right now could result in another hefty payout if Lee’s Summit is found to have harassed, discriminated and retaliated against Municipal Judge Dana Altieri.

Worthy, alongside his mom Nicky Jones, welcomed families into the Dick’s House of Sport in Leawood with their staff to give select families a shopping spree, food and a night with the Chiefs wide receiver. The Worthy 1’s foundation also partnered with Cornerstones of Care for the event. Jones said her experiences as a single mom drive how the Worthy 1’s foundation’s events are curated, particularly the decision to intentionally include the mothers — not just their children.

Laura Kelly announced the details of an incentive package designed to bring the Kansas City Chiefs across the state line to build a new stadium this afternoon. The stadium will be built in Wyandotte County and will be surrounded by an entertainment district, Kelly said. A new team headquarters and a practice facility will be built in Olathe, she said. The announcement came after a group of top lawmakers in Topeka voted unanimously to approve a deal negotiated with Chiefs ownership by Lt. Gov. David Toland on behalf of the Kansas Department of Commerce. “Kansas is not a fly-over state. We’re a touchdown state,” Kelly said, calling today’s announcement “a little bit surreal.” Get the details of the deal at the link above. 🎥: Tammy Ljungblad/The Star & Alexa Stone/The Star (@Alexa (Lex) Stone) #Chiefs #ArrowheadStadium #Kansas #Topeka #NFLhttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/695bd8acf34de29c3916b9c8_1767804503470.mp42026-01-07T16:48:26.927Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/its-not-often-a-third-string-practice-squad2026-01-07https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/695bd8999196afde67e40b62_1767804503470.pngKansas City StarIt’s not often a third-string, practice-squad quarterback is thrust into a game, but that’s exactly what transpired Sunday in the Kansas City Chiefs’ 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Just a week after Patrick Mahomes’ season ended due to a torn ACL, backup QB Gardner Minshew also suffered a significant knee injury. That meant Chris Oladokun — a 2022 seventh-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers — would have to lead the Chiefs. “You see Gardner go down, and I hate it for him,” Oladokun said. “And the next thing my mind went to is, ‘I’ve got to rally the troops now and go win a football game.’ Those guys out there, they battled their (tails) off, and I can’t say enough good things." Though the Chiefs didn’t win, Oladokun proved serviceable, completing 11 of 16 passes for 111 yards and rushing for another seven. And KC fans are now likely to see Oladokun again in the Christmas Day game against the Broncos.

The Chiefs are 6-8, and in each of their losses — every last one of them — they either led in the fourth quarter or possessed the football with a chance to take or take the lead in the fourth quarter. They have trailed in the second half in nine games. They are 1-8 in those games. They are 1-7 in one-score games. The Chiefs are good enough to survive flaws. But how does the city that employs Patrick Mahomes miss the postseason altogether? It takes for granted that it’s possible to miss it. “Success is rented every year,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. “Just because last year’s team made the Super Bowl, that doesn’t guarantee success.” Read more of our Chiefs coverage at the link above. #ChrisJones #KansasCityChiefs #PatrickMahomes #Chiefs #NFL https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/695bd8adf0b037a55ad2ddba_1767804348089.mp42026-01-07T16:45:52.651Znohttps://kansascitystar.begenuin.com/video/the-houston-texans-defeated-the-kansas-city-3xv52026-01-07https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/695bd8c679ab8ca8d7e5d96c_1767804348089.pngKansas City StarThe Houston Texans defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 20-10 Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium. With the loss, the Chiefs dropped to 6-7 this season. Facing fourth-and-1 from his own 31-yard line following a 9-yard desperation scramble by Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs coach Andy Reid kept the offense on the field. As soon as the ball was snapped, Will Anderson burst around the edge, forcing Mahomes to climb the pocket and throw off balance. Rashee Rice, the target, was blanketed, and the ball fell to the turf. Given the short field, Houston punched in a touchdown, never relinquishing the lead.

PlayoffStatus.com has it at 8% for the Chiefs, while The Athletic sees it as a 14% chance.

Here’s a look at the Chiefs’ remaining schedule: Dec. 14 vs. Chargers; Dec. 21 at Titans; Dec. 25 vs. Broncos; Jan. 3 or 4 at Raiders.

Minshew was taken in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and was immediately thrust into starting quarterback duties. Then-Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles was injured in the first game of the 2019 NFL season against the Chiefs, and Minshew took over. He ended up starting the majority of the games for Jacksonville that season. Jacksonville traded Minshew to the Philadelphia Eagles after the 2020 season. He was the backup to Jalen Hurts and only appeared in limited situations during his two years with the Eagles. Minshew then signed with the Colts in 2023 as the backup to rookie Anthony Richardson. He signed a two-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 before coming to Kansas City. Minshew signed with the Chiefs in March 2025, and will now start the rest of the season for the Chiefs.

Whether it’s a penalty at a crucial time, a turnover or having a chance to create a turnover. We’re in a position where if we could figure out those two, three plays, you flip this around.” The Chiefs rank among the NFL’s top 10 in points, points allowed, yards and yards allowed. But the results don’t reflect a team playing with the league’s best. The Chiefs are 2-5 against teams that would be in the playoffs if the season ended today.

Isiah Pacheco has faced zero stacked boxes in three weeks and he has still produced only 3.7 yards per carry on 25 attempts. No NFL running back has carried the ball more without confronting a single stacked box, which means, theoretically, Pacheco should be near the top of the leaderboard in the league’s rushing stats. Yet his longest carry of the season is 11 yards, the longest by any Chiefs running back this year. As a team, the Chiefs have gained only 42 yards on explosive runs, fourth fewest in the league. They have just four carries of 10-plus yards, sixth fewest in the league. Much of this falls at the feet of the running backs, first and second options Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt.

Minshew was taken in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and was immediately thrust into starting quarterback duties. Then-Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles was injured in the first game of the 2019 NFL season against the Chiefs, and Minshew took over. He ended up starting the majority of the games for Jacksonville that season. Jacksonville traded Minshew to the Philadelphia Eagles after the 2020 season. He was the backup to Jalen Hurts and only appeared in limited situations during his two years with the Eagles. Minshew then signed with the Colts in 2023 as the backup to rookie Anthony Richardson. He signed a two-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 before coming to Kansas City. Minshew signed with the Chiefs in March 2025, and will now start the rest of the season for the Chiefs.
