Jovan Belcher Murder of Kasandra Perkins Began With Trey Songz Concert

Saturday’s tragedy in Kansas City may have started on Friday night, when Kasandra Perkins attended a Trey Songz concert at The Midland Theater. The Kansas City Star reports that Perkins and Chief’s linebacker Jovan Belcher got into an argument early Saturday morning over her late night out at the show. A friend of Perkins said that she returned to their home on Crysler Avenue around 1 a.m. that night, and that though the couple had argued frequently during their three years together, she wasn’t aware of any physical abuse.

After hearing that Perkins may have attended his concert, Songz made sure to remove himself from the situation. “I don’t delete tweets, nor am I insensitive to death. I had no knowledge of the murder/suicide incident until now,” he posted. “As sad as it may be, it has nothing to do with me. Sending prayers to the families and friends of the people involved.”

About an hour earlier, Trey had tweeted about Friday’s successful show. “Kansas City was a movie last night! Chitown we here baby!!!!!!”

Belcher shot and killed Perkins on Saturday morning, before traveling to the Chief’s facility and killing himself in front of team staff members. The couple leaves behind a 3-month-old daughter, who will be raised by Belcher’s mother in Long Island. Despite the incident, the Chiefs will play their scheduled home game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
