Kansas City Rideshare Shooting: 18-Year Sentence

0:00A 20-year-old Kansas City guy, named Jacori Conaway, just got slapped with an 18-year prison sentence for shooting a Zitreb ride-share driver. Back on September 15, 2024, he pleaded guilty to first degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon after leaving the driver in critical condition from a face gun shot in the Brie. Likens' neighborhood. Prosecutors dropped the news this week in Jackson County Court, locking him up in Missouri's Department of Corrections. The driver had picked Conaway up near some local spots and things turned ugly quick as they hit the destination. Dashcam footage showed Conaway masking up, pulling a pistol and firing toward the back of the driver's head with no real reason. He even parked the car and tried grabbing the camera before running off. Cops pieced it together fast using the ride-share app's booking details and Conaway's own social media vids flaunting the gun. The victim was bleeding heavy when officers rolled up on the 3,900 block of East 9th Street. This case hits hard on the wrists, ride-share folks face daily, but at least accountability
