Jessica Treat Killed in Topeka Confrontation | Wichita News
Description
A 41-year-old woman named Jessica Treat was fatally shot by a Topeka police officer during a chaotic early morning confrontation on South Kansas Avenue. The incident began when an officer tried to tow a car blocking traffic, prompting an SUV to crash into the vehicle and the officer. Treat emerged wielding a long knife, attacking a bystander before entering a building and confronting another person—security footage captured the victim pleading, “Don’t kill me.” Despite repeated commands to drop the weapon, Treat refused, leading the officer to fire one shot that ended her life. No officers were injured. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation continues to probe the full circumstances.
