David E. Beck III, 29, was killed in a mass shooting in Kansas City, Missouri, on the night of June 19, 2026. The shooting occurred near the historic 18th and Vine district at about 10:30 p.m., when multiple people reportedly began firing in different directions. Beck was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene; five other people were wounded, some with serious, life-threatening injuries.

Described by family as a gentle giant and a devoted new father, Beck enjoyed time with loved ones, following the Kansas City Chiefs and playing video games. His family held a prayer vigil in the days after his death and asked that public portrayals not overshadow who he was. The Kansas City Police Department opened an investigation and appealed for information, offering a reward for tips; as of late June 2026 no arrests or suspect identifications had been announced.

Does anyone have information about the shooting near 18th and Vine on June 19 that could help investigators?
