The FBI announced Tuesday that Kashawn Nicola Roper, 50, has been added to its fugitive list, marking the 541st person to receive the designation.
Roger is wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in Kansas City, Mo., on August 23, 2020. Investigators allege that during an altercation, she fired multiple shots into a car, hitting two women. One of the victims died.
She was charged on September 10, 2020, in Jackson County, Mo., with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. A federal warrant was later issued in July 2021, accusing her of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
