The 29-year-old succumbed to his injuries later that day after being stabbed in the heart, as reported by KCTV. The incident took place shortly after 12:30 a.m. near Highway 152 and North Oak Trafficway in Kansas City, Missouri. Emergency crews were called to the scene due to concerns about a woman walking on the highway. This woman, identified as Shanetta Bossell, 38, was found by officers who requested EMS for her treatment. Hoffman and his partner began transporting her to Saint Luke\u2019s Hospital when Bossell stabbed him in the chest around 1:25 a.m., prompting them to stop the ambulance near Platte Purchase Road as tensions escalated.<\/p>\n<p>Hoffman\u2019s partner quickly called for additional emergency assistance. More personnel from both the Kansas City Fire Department and Police Department arrived at the scene and eventually took Bossell into custody, according to KCTV reports. Despite rapid medical response efforts, Hoffman&#8217;s injuries proved fatal; he was taken to North Kansas City Hospital but died later that afternoon in intensive care.<\/p>\n<p>Hoffman had been with KCFD since 2022 and was known for his dedication and compassion towards patients. &#8220;He was an excellent paramedic,&#8221; said KCFD Fire Chief Ross Grundyson in tribute to Hoffman\u2019s service. Bossell has been charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action following this incident; she had recently faced multiple charges including assaulting an officer just days before attacking Hoffman.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Quinton Lucas expressed sorrow over Hoffman&#8217;s death at such a young age while serving his community, calling it an exceptional loss not only for his family but also for friends and colleagues within KCFD.
