  • KaShawn Nicola Roper, 50, was arrested in High Springs, Florida, a day after being added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
  • Roper was wanted for allegedly fatally shooting Jazmyn Henrion, 23, and wounding another person in Kansas City, Missouri, in August 2020.
  • She was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon in Missouri, and later with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution by federal officials.
  • The FBI offered a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to her capture, with 'credible tips' helping High Springs Police locate her.
  • Witnesses to the 2020 shooting reported that Roper fired into a car during an argument, possibly because she felt the passengers were 'mean-mugging' her or after an item was thrown at her.
