On December 4, 2020, a passerby found a body in the rear floorboards of a charred blue Ford SUV near 10th Street and Winner Road in Kansas City, Missouri. Fire crews had extinguished the blaze around 6:00 a.m., but the victim wasn’t discovered until that afternoon. The 25-year-old was identified as Devonta James Dunson; an autopsy showed he died of two gunshot wounds and not from the fire.

Surveillance footage collected by investigators reportedly shows the shooting occurring in front of a residence on Oakley Avenue, with a suspect firing into the vehicle while Dunson sat inside. The video allegedly captures the shooter entering a nearby home, changing clothes, then returning to move the SUV about five blocks to the later burn site. Family-provided leads and social media helped connect the suspect to that residence.

Prosecutors charged 22-year-old Keith J. Hernandez in January 2021 with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, knowingly burning, and tampering with physical evidence; authorities say DNA from blood in Hernandez’s vehicle matched Dunson. Does anyone have information about Dunson’s movements that morning or additional surveillance from the Oakley Avenue area?
