A Kansas City woman who was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list was captured in Florida after 6 years on the run.
On Wednesday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced KaShawn Nicola Roper, 50, was captured in High Springs, Florida.
The FBI added Roper to the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list on Tuesday, and offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her arrest.
Tips flooded in after the FBI announced the unusually high reward.
Roper was booked into the Alachua County jail pending extradition to Kansas City.
She is accused of shooting into an occupied car and killing 23-year-old Jazmyn Henrion in Kansas City on August 23, 2020. Another woman in the car was wounded.
Roper is charged with second-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.
On Tuesday, the Kansas City Police Department announced Roper was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. A reward of $1 million was offered for her arrest.
Social media users questioned why the reward amount was so high for Roper.
One X.com user wrote: “Why they giving so much for her? Something sounds suspicious.”
Another X user wrote: “A million dollar award? Who the f**k she kill.”
Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson said Roper will “now face the full weight of accountability for her alleged actions in 2020.”
