On the evening of January 8, 2020, officers in Kansas City, Missouri, were called to the 6800 block of Monroe Avenue after residents heard gunfire around 7:30 p.m. Inside a home they found 17-year-old Black male Treshaun Hawkins suffering from gunshot wounds; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Investigators said Hawkins had been shot from outside the residence while he was inside and that he appeared to be the only person home when he was struck.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and evidence but reported no information about a suspect in the immediate aftermath. No arrest was announced and authorities asked the public for tips. At the time of his death Hawkins was out on bond facing second-degree murder and armed criminal action charges from an August 2019 shooting outside the Brush Creek Community Center; prosecutors said he had been recording a fight, then drew a handgun and fired, killing one man and injuring another.

Does anyone who lived near Monroe Avenue that night or who knew Hawkins have information that could help investigators?
