On the morning of June 7, 2020, 19-year-old Matthew Alan Cox was found in the parking lot of the Hyde Pointe Apartments, 4100 block of Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, with a gunshot wound to the chest. First responders had been alerted by the ShotSpotter system; Cox was taken to a hospital but later died of his injuries. Officers found his pants pockets turned inside out, and witnesses reported hearing a gunshot, a man yelling, and a vehicle leaving the lot immediately afterward.

Police identified 26-year-old Khalid Heron-Boone as a suspect. Court records say he told investigators he had spent the night in an apartment with Cox and a juvenile, using cocaine before going outside when an unknown person yelled get down; he claimed he fled and later saw Cox on the ground. Witnesses, however, said Heron-Boone returned to the apartment after the shooting and asked someone to call police because Cox had been robbed and shot. Prosecutors charged Heron-Boone with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and two counts of armed criminal action; bond was set at $200,000. Cox’s family described him as a former J.C. Harmon High School varsity football player who worked as a roofer and loved music.

Does anyone in the area remember seeing a dark coat, red shoes, or a car leaving the Hyde Pointe parking lot that morning?
