On the afternoon of February 26, 2021, 46-year-old Gregory B. Marchand was shot in the 700 block of NW Missouri 7 in Blue Springs, Missouri, a commercial strip of fast-food restaurants and businesses. The shooting happened about 2:50 p.m.; Marchand was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his gunshot wound.

Investigators identified two 21-year-old Kansas City men, Zaylen Z. Smith and Donavan M. Jordan, as suspects and arrested them. Court papers allege the shooting occurred during a planned marijuana transaction and say Smith opened Marchand’s passenger-side door and shot him, then took money that had been exchanged for the drugs. Surveillance footage reportedly shows a person believed to be Smith approaching the scene armed. A police pursuit ended in a crash in Kansas City and a firearm was recovered from the suspects’ vehicle. Prosecutors sought bond of $250,000 for Smith and $50,000 for Jordan.

Was anyone in the area that afternoon able to see or record movement near the 700 block of NW Missouri 7?
