On the evening of January 26, 2022, 25-year-old Austin Michael Knowles-DeClements was shot and killed while inside a vehicle in Kansas City. Police responded to a call for medical assistance around 8:30 p.m. and found Knowles-DeClements unresponsive at the intersection of East 10th and Olive streets; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A female companion in the car told investigators they had been fired upon and she drove the vehicle away to safety before calling for help.

Investigators developed a suspect using cellphone records, a composite sketch based on the witness account, and DNA from a sandal left at the scene. The inquiry further indicated the suspect and another person had purchased marijuana from Knowles-DeClements the day before the shooting. Does anyone have information about Austin, where he spent time in Kansas City, or details that could help clarify what happened that night?
