Woman fighting for change after daughter killed in 2021 Kansas City shooting [Video]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Independence grandmother’s grieving process cut short.

She’s raising her grandchild after someone shot and killed her daughter in March of 2021 in Kansas City, Missouri. That’s hard enough, but certain laws make it even harder.

She’s demanding changes in those laws so other families don’t have to endure what she’s been through.

It’s been three years since the deadly shooting. Three years without her daughter. Three years solely raising her grandson and three years fighting for change.

The last three years, Davetta Whitmill really hasn’t had time to grieve after her daughter Deja Veal was shot and killed in Kansas City in 2021.

“We got to see videos from my daughter that night. A video on her Snapchat at 9 p.m. of her in the car singing and laughing and talking and we knew she didn’t expect it,” Whitmill said.
