Shawn Ricks, 30, was shot and killed just after 1:30 a.m. on July 26, 2020, in the 3400 block of Indiana Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Police found him unresponsive on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was listed as the city’s 114th homicide that year.

Detectives and crime scene investigators canvassed the area but initial reports provided no suspect information and the circumstances leading up to the shooting were unclear. The FBI later joined the Kansas City Police Department’s appeal and offered up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction; that reward was separate from any Crime Stoppers offer and the case was included in Operation Legend.

There have been no public announcements identifying suspects or any arrests, and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Shawn, please come forward to investigators.
