Man fires 17 shots at clerk trying to stop fight in Missouri store

Kansas City, MO A convenience store clerk was shot multiple times while attempting to break up a fight at a local gas station. The incident occurred shortly after 8:30 p.m. on November 18 at the Phillips 66 Xpress Mart on Prospect Avenue.

Clerk Craig Washington, 41, was found on the ground with several gunshot wounds to his torso, back, and forearms. Surveillance footage showed suspect Adrian Stallings, 27, entering the store to purchase alcohol and reacting violently when he believed people were laughing at him for being short on cash.

Aggressive verbal exchanges led to Stallings threatening a bystander. During the escalation, Washington intervened to separate the parties involved, prompting Stallings to draw a firearm and shoot Washington, who attempted to crawl away while dropping his own gun.

Witnesses reported Stallings standing over Washington and firing additional shots while issuing threats. A total of 17 shell casings were recovered from the scene. Stallings fled the location in a dark-colored Chevrolet sedan.

He was arrested two days later and faces charges including second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Washington’s mother expressed her distress over her son’s death, noting the ongoing violence in the area and her concerns for his safety while working.

Stallings currently remains in the Jackson County Jail without bond, with a court appearance set for December 30.
