Shakeita Tacora Young was 32 when she was shot and killed in her Topeka home in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 29, 2021. Police responded just after 5 a.m. to a mobile home park in the 1800 block of N.E. Burgess Court, found Young with a gunshot wound, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators quickly identified a person of interest, 31-year-old Kajun Daniel Brock, who was on parole at the time for prior convictions including aggravated robbery and assault on a law enforcement officer. A public search was launched and the U.S. Marshal Service Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Brock in Topeka on the evening of June 2, 2021. He was booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections and charged with first-degree murder and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon; bond was set at $1 million. The investigation did not publicly release a motive for the shooting.

If anyone knew Shakeita, saw activity near N.E. Burgess Court on May 29, 2021, or has information that could shed light on what happened, please come forward.
