Frederick Paul Tolbert, known as Lil Freddie, was born November 20, 1995, in Kansas City, Kansas and grew up attending school in Kansas City, Missouri. Described as having an infectious smile, he enjoyed basketball, music and making others laugh.

An incident in Jackson County, Missouri, on or about May 2, 2020, led to injuries that proved fatal; Tolbert died on Monday, May 4, 2020. Prosecutors later filed charges against Raymond J. Cage, born October 5, 1988, accusing him of Murder in the Second Degree and Armed Criminal Action. The complaint alleges Cage shot Tolbert, causing his death, and notes a conviction would require at least eighty-five percent of the sentence to be served before parole eligibility.

Are there readers who knew Frederick or who can share information about his life or the events around early May 2020?
