A family in Independence, Missouri, just outside Kansas City, is grieving a senseless act of violence after police say Anthony S. Myers, a 45-year-old father, was fatally stabbed on Friday, September 19, 2025. According to law enforcement, Myers was killed over a Kansas City Chiefs sweatshirt.
The suspect, Trey C. Parker, 23, who says the sweatshirt belonged to him, is in custody, facing second-degree murder and related charges. Makalya Myers, Anthony’s daughter, told Kansas City’s KCTV, “It was violent, it was senseless, and it was just cruel.” She added, “I don’t even have the words; it just doesn’t make sense. This was not how he was supposed to die. This was not supposed to be in his story.”
