Travis Kitchen, 48, passed away as a result of an unfortunate incident that happened on Monday, December 4, in the 300 block of S. Jean St. in Kennewick. Adam Klei, 44, was shot and died, according to Kennewick, Washington, authorities. He is currently the target of a high-priority manhunt. The Kansas City Police Department claims that there is enough evidence to support Klei’s arrest on first-degree murder charges.

Police recovered Klei’s car from the crime site when they were unable to locate him at home following the incident. Although Klei’s location is still unknown, the KPD has made a public plea, requesting that anybody with information contact them at 509-628-0333 or send a tip via their official website. Four Kennewick schools had to institute lockdown protocols as a precaution after the event.

The Kennewick School District immediately implemented non-critical lockdowns at Horse Heaven Hills Middle School, Canyon View Elementary, Cascade Elementary, and Washington Elementary in response to the shooting.

The incident happened sometime between nine and ten in the morning, according to Commander Aaron Clem of the Kennewick Police Department. Little information is currently known regarding the confrontation that resulted in the terrible tragedy, despite the fact that the inquiry is still underway.

The Benton County coroner, William Leach, has identified the victim as Travis Kitchen. Leach stated that an autopsy would take place in Thurston County on December 7. Following this terrible event that claimed Travis Kitchen’s life, the community is on edge and demanding justice. As a result, police enforcement is intensifying their search for Adam Klei. The KPD is actively looking for Klei, but they are also asking the public for any information that could help them apprehend him.
