Randie Smith, 27, was killed after arranging to sell a PlayStation 4 she had listed on Facebook Marketplace. On the evening of August 23, 2021, she drove to a BP gas station at Independence Avenue and The Paseo in Kansas City to meet a buyer. Surveillance footage shows two men approach her car while she was parked and on the phone; after she opened the driver’s side door a struggle began and a second man fired a shot into the front windshield. As Smith attempted to flee, the man reportedly fired again. Her vehicle struck a utility pole and overturned near Independence and Garfield avenues. First responders found her deceased inside, and the Jackson County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators recovered two spent 9mm shell casings at the scene. Detectives used the Facebook messages to identify three suspects: brothers Raynell S. Muldrew-Golston, 21, and Latrell Muldrew-Golston, 21, and 18-year-old Keron Black. All three were charged with second-degree murder; Raynell also faced armed criminal action. Court records say Black admitted creating the Facebook account for the brothers and acting as a lookout, and Raynell reportedly said he did something stupid because he was scared.

If anyone knew Randie or witnessed the aftermath at the gas station, please share what you know.
