On the night of February 9, 2020, gunfire broke out at the Jefferson Place East apartment complex in the 11500 block of Holiday Drive in Kansas City, Missouri. Around 10:00 p.m. officers and medics found 22-year-old Black male Derrick Donahue on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second male victim was also shot and taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Detectives from the Homicide Unit canvassed the complex, interviewed residents, and processed the scene; a red heart-shaped balloon was later tied where Donahue fell. Police said they had not established a motive and urged anyone with information to come forward, offering a reward for tips. No suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests were announced as the investigation remained open.

If anyone knew Derrick, was at Jefferson Place East that night, or has information that could help resolve this homicide, please share what is known.
