Two gang members were convicted for a January 2024 mass shooting in Kansas City that injured six.

In January 2024, a mass shooting at Kansas City's Crown Center injured six people. Gang members Brian Favela (23) and Joel Olivas (24) were convicted of multiple charges, including unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action. One count was dismissed due to insufficient evidence regarding self-defense. The shooting arose from an argument between rival gangs. Sentencing for the men is set for December 12, with the prosecutor emphasizing accountability despite Missouri's lenient gun laws.
