Following Executive Order #20-30, Governor Laura Kelly has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff on all state buildings, grounds, and facilities from sunrise to sunset on August 11, 2025, to honor Wyandotte County Deputy Elijah Ming, who was killed in the line of duty on July 26, 2025.

“The death of a law enforcement officer is always a tragedy, and Deputy Ming was taken far too soon,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “He made the ultimate sacrifice in service to his community, and he will not be forgotten. My sincere condolences go out to Deputy Ming’s loved ones during this difficult time.”
