Police were called just after 10 p.m. to a home in the 3600 block of Norton Avenue, where they found 16-year-old Traelynn Sibley unresponsive and suffering from a gunshot wound, according to Capt. Jake Becchina, spokesperson for the Kansas City Police Department.
Preliminary evidence indicated she was inside the home when gunfire from one or more people outside struck her. There was no known suspect as of Tuesday afternoon. She was declared dead at an area hospital.
But neighbors said they weren’t surprised when they found out something happened at that home, sayi
