Clifford Harris, 38, was found dead of gunshot wounds inside an abandoned vehicle off the roadway on the south side of the 4900 block of Raytown Road in Kansas City, Missouri, on Christmas Day 2021. Officers responded at about 11:45 a.m.; Harris was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial investigation indicated the shots were likely fired from inside the vehicle, and that the assailant had been in close proximity.

The case remained open for nearly three years as investigators worked to reconstruct events. In November 2024 prosecutors charged 25-year-old Duron T. Carter Jr. with first-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action; Carter was booked into the Jackson County jail with no bond set, pending court proceedings.

If anyone has information about Harris, his movements that morning, or the vehicle where he was found, please share what is known with investigators.
