Second Driver Involved in Fatal Hit-and-run that Claimed Life of Prominent Transgender Woman Identified

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Local authorities have shed light on the fatal hit-and-run incident that took the life of a prominent figure in Kansas City’s transgender community, Kita Bee.

The Incident

According to police reports, the fatal accident occurred in the 3200 block of Independence Avenue at approximately 9:30 p.m. on a fateful Friday. Initial investigations suggest that Kita Bee was struck by a truck, subsequent to which the driver responsible for the impact allegedly fled the scene.

Two Vehicles involved

While the incident unfolded, an unrelated driver who was able to witness the hit-and-run decided to tail the culprit’s truck. This eyewitness later revisited the crash site. Furthermore, on the day of the incident, the police reported potential evidence signifying the possibility of Kita Bee being hit by another vehicle. On subsequent Tuesday, Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) confirmed the identity of this second driver. With this development, the authorities have asserted that they are no longer in search of any other suspects associated with this incident.

Awaiting Legal Proceedings

KCPD is set to present a comprehensive report of their findings to the Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. This would hold the key to identifying the appropriate charges against the parties involved. Given the sensitivity and complexity of the case, authorities have hinted that this procedure can take several weeks, making sure that prosecutors receive all the crucial facts to govern the best decision regarding potential criminal charges.

Remembering Kita Bee

Kita Bee, a well-known figure in the local LGBTQ+ community, will be remembered for her unwavering authenticity and tenderness, despite the numerous trials she faced in her life. Her death has truly been felt within the local community, and it is hoped that the unfolding legal proceedings give adequate justice to her memory.
