Disposition : No known charges

Open Records Summary :

On Dec. 27, 2022 Missouri Highway patrol chased what they felt may be an intoxicated driver until the chase ended in a fiery crash at a roundabout at 72nd Street and Overland Drive in Platte County. Genie Howard had crashed his vehicle as a result of a police chase and died. Family members said the wreck happened on the driver’s birthday and family very much question the police narrative based on eyewitness stories they heard. Genie Howard had spent some time in prison and ws very proud that he had received his GED and was valedictorian. His like had gone in a positive direction.
Relatives said they were frantically trying to get in touch with Genie Howard and when they received no answer, they began calling around and found out he had crashed and been taken to a burn unit. His mother said the burns covered 70% of his body including his face.
The family said no one had notified them. The family said they only learned from hospital staff that Highway patrol had been involved in his death. It took three days for Genie Howard to die. Family remain very skeptical of the police narrative, particularly due to the lack of information they received.
