LUCK RUNS OUT

FBI’s Most Wanted Woman Is Captured After Years on the Run

She had been wanted since a 2020 shooting.

One of the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted women has been arrested, the agency said. Missourian KaShawn Nicola Roper, 50, of Kansas City, was arrested in High Springs, Florida, on Wednesday by the High Springs Police Department. She was wanted for her alleged involvement in a shooting on Aug. 23, 2020, in Kansas City, where she is accused of firing at a car with two women in it, one of whom was killed. She was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon in Jackson County, Missouri in 2020 and a federal warrant for her arrest was put out the following year after a further charge of unlawful flight. She was added to the 10 Most Wanted list on Tuesday, with a $1 million reward for anyone with information. “The High Springs Police Department commends the strong collaboration between local and federal law enforcement partners in this case,” said High Springs Police Chief Antoine Sheppard. “This outcome reflects the importance of coordinated efforts, shared intelligence, and mutual trust in protecting our communities. We are especially proud of the professionalism and vigilance demonstrated by our HSPD officers during a routine traffic stop.” The Daily Beast has requested further information.
