FUGITIVE KASHAWN ROPER ADDED TO FBI TEN MOST WANTED LIST WITH $1 MILLION REWARD

Federal authorities have added KaShawn Nicola Roper to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, escalating a multi-year manhunt tied to a 2020 fatal shooting in Kansas City, Missouri. The designation includes a $1 million reward for information leading to her arrest and conviction, marking her as the 541st individual placed on the list since its creation.

Roper is wanted for her alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on August 23, 2020, during an altercation in Kansas City. According to charging documents, she allegedly fired multiple rounds into a vehicle, striking two female victims. One of the victims died as a result of the injuries sustained in the attack. On September 10, 2020, Roper was formally charged in the 16th Judicial Circuit of Jackson County, Missouri, with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. A state warrant was issued shortly thereafter.

The case transitioned into a federal fugitive matter on July 1, 2021, when a federal arrest warrant was issued in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. Roper was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, a federal offense applied when individuals cross jurisdictional lines or evade authorities to avoid facing state charges. That designation expanded the scope of the search, bringing federal investigative resources into the case.

Roper is described as a Black female, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing around 120 pounds, with black hair. She was born in Kansas and is 50 years old. She has multiple identifying tattoos across her body, including on her arms, back, calf, neck, wrist, breast, and abdomen, along with pierced ears. While she has prior ties to Kansas City, Missouri, authorities indicate she may travel or have connections in Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, Georgia, and South Dakota.

Law enforcement has classified Roper as armed and dangerous.

The addition to the Ten Most Wanted list reflects a coordinated escalation between federal and local agencies, including the FBI, the Kansas City Missouri Police Department, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, and the U.S. Marshals Service through the KC Metro Violent Crime Task Force. Placement on the list significantly increases national visibility, public awareness, and tip volume, which historically has played a decisive role in resolving long-standing fugitive cases.

The FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, established in March 1950, serves as a high-priority alert system for individuals considered dangerous and evasive. Of the 541 fugitives placed on the list, 163 have been apprehended or located, many as a direct result of public reporting. Within the FBI Kansas City area of responsibility, 21 fugitives have been added to the list, with 14 apprehended in that region.

Authorities continue to emphasize that cases of this nature often hinge on actionable intelligence from the public. The longevity of the investigation, now approaching five years, indicates sustained effort across multiple jurisdictions and investigative phases. The addition of a substantial reward is designed to accelerate that process and generate new leads.

Anyone with information regarding Roper’s whereabouts is urged to contact the FBI or local law enforcement immediately. Tips can be submitted through federal reporting channels, including direct phone contact or secure online submission systems. Information may be provided anonymously.

The charges are allegations. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
