Michael Uttley, 34, was shot dead inside a home in the 400 block of South White Avenue in northeast Kansas City on a Sunday evening in March. Two men came to the residence and asked to speak with Uttley. His girlfriend went upstairs after they arrived and then heard gunfire. She found Uttley in the foyer with gunshot wounds; he died at the scene. The two men fled on foot, heading south on White Avenue.

Police identified 37-year-old Brandon Pritchard as a suspect. Court documents describe a confrontation after Pritchard and another man entered the home; Uttley had armed himself and told them to leave, and witnesses heard an exchange before the shots were fired. Four days after the killing, on March 25, 2021, police arrested Pritchard. Did anyone in the neighborhood see men running south on White Avenue that night or know why those two went to that address?
