Sincere D. Miller, 24, and Kimoni Williams, 23, each face one count of Unlawful Use of a Weapon and one count of Armed Criminal Action, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson.

According to court records, Kansas City police responded to the sound of shots on 13th and Grand Boulevard on July 11 and located Miller and Williams holding firearms. Multiple witnesses heard sounds of shots and observed the defendants shooting their firearms toward a nearby apartment building while standing outside a vehicle. 

City camera footage showed the defendants entering their vehicle and a green laser beam pointed at them prior to the shooting. 

Both defendants told police they heard gunshots from nearby blocks and observed the green laser beam on themselves and on one defendant’s daughter, who was in the backseat. Feeling threatened, they began firing into the building, striking multiple occupied apartments. 

No one was injured during this shooting.
