A civil rights lawsuit is costing the KCPD and the city's Board of Police Commissioners $4.1 million. An attorney for the family of Cameron Lamb, who was killed by a white detective in 2019, said they're happy to have the "political football" of the case behind them.
Despite hinting that it could happen, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson won't say for sure whether he will pardon or commute the sentence of Eric DeValkenaere, the former KCPD officer serving six years in prison for killing Cameron Lamb. Parson spoke to KCUR's Up To Date about his tenure before leaving office on Jan. 13.
Former Kansas City Police Department detective Eric DeValkenaere, who was convicted of killing Cameron Lamb, has asked for clemency from Missouri Gov. Mike Parson — who says he's considering his options. Parson also spoke to KCUR's Up To Date about the possibility of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals moving to Kansas.
Navigating grief is no easy journey especially when you are also forced to fight for justice at the same time. Cameron “CD” Lamb's life was taken at the hands of Eric Devalkenaere, a former Kansas City Missouri Police Department Detective on December 3, 2019 after he was ambushed while backing into his driveway. In this episode I sit down with the family of Cameron Lamb as we reflect on his life, his legacy and the impact of his death. We share how grief has taken toll on our mental health and how we have been able to manage.

Former Kansas City Police detective Eric DeValkenaere surrendered to Platte County Sheriff's officials Tuesday after a Missouri appeals court panel affirmed his 2021 conviction for second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Cameron Lamb. It's the first case of a Kansas City officer being found guilty of killing a Black man while on duty.
After former Kansas City Police officer Eric DeValkanaere was convicted of killing unarmed Black man Cameron Lamb, there's been speculation — and protest — about his potential pardon by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson.
Nick Haines, Peggy Lowe, Dave Helling, Eric Wesson and Kris Ketz discuss the disputed conviction of Eric DeValkenaere in the shooting death of Cameron Lamb, the financial and crime problems for the Country Club Plaza, the meager returns on sports betting in Kansas, the new campaign to lure the Royals to North Kansas City and the escalating tensions between KCMO and Jackson County over a new jail.
Cameron Lamb joins us in tonight's show to talk about his projects, including what he's doing with the TTPG and their Chelonian Propagation Program.

White Missouri officer convicted in Black man's 2019 death. A judge on Friday convicted a white Kansas City police officer of involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the fatal shooting of a Black man, in a case in which prosecutors said police planted evidence. Jackson County Judge Dale Youngs issued the bench ruling against Officer Eric DeValkenaere in the death of Cameron Lamb, 26. Lamb was shot while backing into his garage on Dec. 3, 2019, after chasing his girlfriend's convertible in a stolen pickup truck. Youngs called it a tragic case with troubling facts and said DeValkenaere and the officer with him escalated a situation that had been calmed. After the verdict, police escorted DeValkenaere and his family from the building. An officer said they wouldn't be commenting. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

On December 3, 2019, Kansas City police shot and killed 26-year-old Cameron Lamb, a black male, in his own backyard. Sheryl Ferguson knew Cameron Lamb and his family for years. She's familiar with the police department, having been given a police certificate of appreciation in 2016 for her work in the community. She used her public comment time during January's police commission meeting to the full and will talk with us about her message – nationwide, police killed 1,099 people in 2019.

In 2012, St. Louis voters chose to eliminate the state review board appointed by the Missouri Governor to oversee their police department and moved control of the police directly to the city. The system used for Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) governance is a Missouri Governor-appointed Board of Police Commissioners, too. Kansas City is still subject to an appointed review board to control the police department. In the wake of the shootings of Ryan Stokes and Cameron Lamb, the state's responsibility for accountability and oversight of the KCPD has been called into question. On March 9th, host Elyse Max talks about the issue of local control of the police department with John Chasnoff. John leads the Coalition Against Police Crimes and Repression aka CAPCR (pronounce CAP-CAR), a St. Louis based organization which aims to end police crimes and abuse. In February 2020, Kansas City's City Council adopted a resolution that formed a public safety committee appointed by the Mayor to look at the benefits and downfalls of local control of the KCPD. Jaws of Justice Radio Hour's show will focus on the movement in KC, and lessons learned from the struggle in St. Louis, to gain local control of the…
