1 behind bars, another hospitalized after armed robbery leads to high-speed chases

*Update: Rambo-Mitchell has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - One man is behind bars, another remains in the hospital and a teenager is in custody after an armed robbery led to two separate high-speed chases, one of which was nearly fatal.

Jackson County, Missouri, Circuit Court records filed on Wednesday, Aug. 27, indicate that Jordan A. Rambo-Mitchell, 24, and Jaylen D. Webb, 22, of Kansas City, have been charged in connection with the incident.

A probable cause statement filed by the Kansas City Police Department revealed that on Tuesday, a victim reported that his 2022 Dodge Challenger had been stolen from the Phillips 66 at 7100 Eastwood Trafficway.

When first responders arrived, they learned that three individuals approached the victim, allegedly with firearms drawn. They demanded his keys, wallet and more before getting into his car and driving off - leaving him stranded.

Investigators noted that security footage from the area revealed the suspect vehicle had backed in near the front of the store as the victim waited to pull up to an open pump.

Law enforcement officials indicated that after the victim parks and enters the store, the suspects park at the next gas pump. The security footage then caught the robbery on tape.

KCPD noted that other officers responding to the scene spotted the stolen vehicle as it was followed by the suspect’s vehicle - a white, 2025 Buick believed to be involved in several other violent crimes.

Investigators said they followed the vehicles until they stopped in the parking lot near Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Hardesty Ave. After several minutes, the Buick blocked the exit to the parking lot while the Challenger took off.

Pursuing officers said they were forced to jump the curb to chase the Challenger. They followed in pursuit as speeds of up to 100 mph were reached.

However, when the vehicle reached E. 63rd Trafficway and I-435, the driver, later identified as Rambo-Mitchell, crashed into another car. Both he and his juvenile passenger were taken into custody.

KCPD noted that the driver of the other vehicle was taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries. Rambo-Mitchell was also transported with injuries not as serious.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officials in the area of 59th and Swope Pkwy. said they found the Buick. As they tried to stop the driver, later identified as Webb, he led them on a separate high-speed chase.

KCPD indicated that this chase also ended with a crash when Webb collided with two vehicles stopped at a red light. After the Buick stopped, Webb allegedly got out and ran. He was quickly taken into custody.

After the arrest of Rambo-Mitchell and Webb, investigators noted that searches of the Buick and Challenger yielded three firearms, two of which were found to be stolen.

As a result, Rambo-Mitchell and Webb were both charged with robbery in the first degree, armed criminal action and aggravated fleeing a stop. If convicted, they could each be sentenced to life in prison.

Court documents indicated that a warrant with an $85,000 bond was issued for Rambo-Mitchell’s arrest; however, as he remains in the hospital, it has not been served. A hearing for him has not yet been set.

As of Thursday, Aug. 28, Webb remains behind bars with no bond listed. He is expected to appear in court at 9:15 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 4, and again at 1 p.m. on Sept. 24.

No further information about the third suspect has been released as they are a juvenile.
