Kansas City Police are being questioned by the family of a pregnant woman who was killed, looking for answers in the case.

Elaysha Gilliam, a 26-year-old pregnant woman, was tragically found dead in a park in Kansas City. Her family is devastated and seeking answers from the police. Gilliam, who was expecting her fifth child, was discovered on February 19th in a field near Dunbar Park. According to reports from NBC News, she had multiple gunshot wounds on her body and was pronounced dead by emergency personnel at the scene. Despite this, the investigation into her death has been slow-moving.

Gilliam's family has expressed frustration with the lack of information from the police. Her stepmother, Clydetta Gilliam, shared that they feel the police are "dragging their feet" and not doing enough to uncover who may have killed Elaysha. "I want closure, we need answers," Clydetta said. "The police are dragging their feet, but I feel like I need to go out and solve the case myself. We aren't getting any information from them."

Clydetta, who is 46 years old, also questioned the evidence found at the scene. "Are there any fingerprints from shell casings? What did they find around her? Was she still fully clothed?" These are all important details that could potentially lead to finding the person responsible for Elaysha's death.

The loss of Elaysha is especially tragic as she leaves behind four young children, all under the age of 9. Just days before her suspected murder, her biological mother had moved in with her as she was working towards a better life for herself and her family. Her birth mother told Elaysha's brother that she was on her way to see her boyfriend the night she was killed.

Unfortunately, Elaysha's death is not an isolated incident in Kansas City. The city has seen a rise in homicides, particularly among Black women. In 2023, a local news outlet reported that Kansas City is considered the most dangerous state for Black women. Data from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention also revealed that Missouri had the highest rate of homicide for Black women and girls in 2020.

Despite this alarming statistic, no arrests have been made in Elaysha's case. The police continue to investigate her death as a homicide and have even offered a $25,000 reward for any information that may lead to finding the person responsible. It is a devastating loss for her family, and they are left with many unanswered questions. This tragedy also sheds light on the larger issue of violence against Black women in Kansas City and the need for justice and protection for all.
