Mayor Tyrone Garner read a proclamation at the Aug. 7 meeting memorializing Deputy Elijah Ming, who the proclamation said “made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty in Kansas City, Kansas on 07/26/2025.”
The proclamation, read in full by the clerk, said Ming “upheld the law with courage, dedication, and unwavering integrity” and named July 30, 2025, as Deputy Elijah Ming Memorial Day in Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. Mayor Garner urged residents to support the Ming family and the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office during the family’s bereavement, and he noted a memorial service would be held at Children's Mercy Stadium with media coverage available.
The reading drew expressions of sympathy from elected officials and members of the public. No formal vote was required for the ceremonial proclamation.
Ending: The proclamation was entered into the record and the mayor and commissioners asked the community to keep the Ming family and public‑safety professionals in their thoughts and to watch coverage of the memorial service if they could not attend in person.
