Police said they need the public’s help to find the person who killed a 22-year-old woman in a suspected road rage shooting Sunday evening in Independence. Whitney Gray was with her two young children and a teenage relative when she was shot near Winner Road and Sterling Avenue. Investigators said Gray had just left a grocery store when they got caught up in some sort of road rage incident. Moments later, someone in the other vehicle pulled out a gun. “We know that one shot was fired into the victim’s vehicle and fortunately, none of the other three occupants was injured,” said Officer John Syme of the Independence Police Department. Investigators released video of a vehicle seen speeding from the scene. “We want to get the pictures out there. We want the video out. We want people to call if they’ve seen a vehicle that matches it and if they may have been around there at the time” said Syme. Police said they don’t think Gray and the shooter knew each other. Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477. Collin Stosberg of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said drivers involved in a road rage incident should avoid hostile situations at all costs and call police immediately to report other drivers’ actions and provide a detailed vehicle description. He said every situation is different and should be taken seriously. He advised motorists to call *55 on a cellphone to report issues. A GoFundMe page has been set up to pay for funeral expenses and a fund for Gray’s children. You can contribute to it here.
