Edmon E. Alexander III, 32, was shot and killed on the evening of November 26, 2021, in the parking lot of the Blue Valley Market near 43rd Street and Cleveland Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Police came to reports of gunfire around 7:40 p.m.; Alexander was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and later died.

Surveillance footage and witness statements described an exchange after Alexander accidentally dropped a large amount of cash. Video showed him arguing with occupants of a gray Nissan; as that vehicle left, Alexander retrieved a firearm from his car and fired toward the Nissan, then waited inside the store. When he exited later, the Nissan returned and occupants shot him from the passenger side and backseat.

Detectives traced the Nissan to a Kansas residence and identified three suspects: brothers Byron Fowler and Bonzel Fowler, and Bonzel’s wife Tateona Jackson-Williams. In April 2023 a Jackson County jury convicted Byron Fowler of second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action; sentencing was scheduled for June 2023. Bonzel Fowler and Tateona Jackson-Williams were charged with the same counts and their cases remained pending. Bonzel Fowler told investigators he returned and fired in self-defense after Alexander had previously shot at them.

Did anyone in the area see the gray Nissan that night or have information about what led to the confrontation?
