Kyle Rittenhouse questioned why the public still does not know the names of the Kansas City, Missouri, shooters, noting that “the government was quick to reveal my name” after the shooting he was involved in.
The Kansas City shooting that Rittenhouse referenced occurred Wednesday as the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their Super Bowl victory, with two of the three suspects in the shooting confirmed to be minors. As of Tuesday morning, nothing else about the suspects’ identities has been revealed.
“I am trying to comprehend why the government was quick to reveal my name after I defended myself, but they still haven’t released the names of the Kansas City shooters,” Rittenhouse wrote on X.
Wednesday’s shooting left one person dead and over 20 injured, and the suspects received gun-related and resisting arrest charges on Thursday by the Office of the Juvenile Officer, according to the Circuit Court of Jackson County’s family division. The suspects are being held at a juvenile detention center.
A third suspect, who has not been identified as a minor, was also arrested.
Rittenhouse’s questioning on the delayed identification of the shooting suspects comes after he was identified following his involvement in a shooting that occurred in August 2020 during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Two of the men Rittenhouse shot, Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, were killed, and a third man, Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, was wounded.
Rittenhouse was found not guilty on two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide, and two counts of reckless endangerment on Nov. 19, 2021. He maintained that he had acted in self-defense.

In the wake of Rittenhouse’s trial, he announced a new book titled Acquitted, which he says is meant to tell his side of the story.
Rittenhouse is not the only one to question why the suspects’ identities have yet to be revealed, as conservative commentator Ann Coulter claimed over the weekend on Real Time with Bill Maher that their identities would be known “if it were a white man shooting.” Maher, the host of the show, argued that their identities are still unknown, and Coulter insisted “that’s how we know” the suspects are not white.
