On the afternoon of November 6, 2019, Michael K. Jones, 44, was found dead in the street on the 5300 block of Olive Street in Kansas City, Missouri, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Witnesses described a confrontation at a truck’s driver side window that escalated from conversation to a verbal dispute before the vehicle — reported as a dark-colored pickup — sped away.

Tips to Kansas City Crime Stoppers led detectives to Ronnie Steven Grady, who was known to Jones and alleged to be involved in a dispute with him over a woman. Grady initially denied involvement but later said he shot Jones in self-defense after claiming Jones reached behind his back. Forensic and autopsy findings contradicted that account: the medical examiner found two entrance wounds to Jones’s back and no evidence of close-range firing.

In February 2020 the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office charged Grady with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Does anyone who was in the Olive Street area that afternoon remember seeing a dark pickup or the confrontation?
