Daniel L. Washington, 33, was shot dead in Kansas City, Missouri, in the early hours of Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020. Known as Mont, he was a father of five and remembered for his family focus and love of cars and grilling. That morning Washington rode as a front-seat passenger in a vehicle with three others, including his ex-girlfriend, with whom he stayed friendly.

The group had parked in the 4000 block of Agnes Avenue when they were approached by the ex-girlfriend’s current partner, Ivan D. Mock. After a brief, tense exchange fueled by jealousy, Mock produced a handgun and fired into the vehicle, striking Washington multiple times. The driver fled and sought help at a CVS near 39th Street and Main, where officers were flagged down; Washington was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses in the vehicle identified Mock as the shooter and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was taken into custody about two weeks later and charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action. Did anyone in the community know Washington, his family, or have information about what happened that morning?
