A Kansas City, Kansas, police officer fatally shot Jesse James West, 36, on Friday, Nov. 6, in the 6500 block of Kansas Avenue, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said, according to KSHB 41¹.

KBI said officers were dispatched about 7:35 p.m. after a caller reported a family member behaving erratically in a vehicle in her driveway, later identified as West¹.

Two officers arrived about 7:50 p.m., reported seeing that West had a firearm, retreated and gave commands to exit with hands up, then approached again; about 7:56 p.m. an officer fired one round, striking West, KBI said¹.

Life-saving measures were attempted and West was taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead; no officers were injured, KSHB 41 reported, citing KBI¹.

KBI said rifle components were found at the scene and that its account is preliminary; final findings are expected in weeks and will go to the Wyandotte County district attorney¹.

KSHB 41 said the shooting was the city’s fifth officer-involved shooting this year¹.

Community advocate William Rogers, who has been with West’s family, called for accountability from the district attorney and mayor and for more crisis-intervention coverage, KSHB 41 reported¹.

KCKPD has one dedicated CIT officer and two mental-health co-responders whose contract hours are weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the station reported; the department said 74% of officers are CIT certified¹.

KBI said the investigation remains open¹.

KSHB 41 said Rogers has followed all five KCK officer-involved shootings this year and argued the community should not treat them as routine¹.
