KaShawn Roper is accused of shooting two women \u2014 killing one \u2014 in western Missouri in August 2020.<\/p>\n

KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 A Missouri woman who has been on the run from law enforcement since 2020 has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

KaShawn Nicola Roper, 50, becomes the 541st person added to the list, according to the FBI. A reward of up to $1 million is being offered for information that leads to her arrest and conviction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials say Roper is wanted out of Kansas City after she allegedly shot into a car during a confrontation on August 23, 2020. Two women inside the vehicle were hit by gunfire, one of whom died, according to the FBI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

On September 10, 2020, Roper was charged in state court with second-degree murder, along with other charges in connection with the shooting. In July 2021, a federal arrest warrant was issued for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roper is described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing around 120 pounds. The FBI said Roper has tattoos on her left arm, upper left arm, back, left calf, neck, right wrist, right breast, and abdomen. The agency did not provide any additional details on the tattoos’ appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The FBI field office in Dallas said Roper has previously resided in and may visit Texas. She also has ties to, or may visit, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Georgia, the FBI said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on Roper’s whereabouts is asked to call the police immediately. Tips can also be submitted at tips.fbi.gov or by calling the FBI tip line at 1-800-255-5324.\u00a0<\/p>\n
