John T. Wilson III, 23, was found dead in his Kansas City apartment in the 1600 block of Citadel Drive on September 28, 2019. Family discovered him on his bedroom floor with multiple gunshot wounds; there were no signs of forced entry. Investigators recovered several 9 mm shell casings at the scene.

A witness told police a man in a white SUV visited the building twice on the evening of September 27, and after the second visit heard four or five gunshots, then saw the man run from the building laughing as he got into the SUV. Detectives identified 23-year-old Daniel A. Bigge as a person of interest; Wilson’s phone showed a final communication with a number linked to Bigge. Officers executed a search warrant at Bigge’s home, recovered a 9 mm handgun, and ballistics testing tied the casings to that gun. Bigge was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action; he denied shooting Wilson and gave conflicting statements about their relationship.

If anyone knew John, saw a white SUV near Citadel Drive on September 27, 2019, or has information about the night he was killed, please come forward.
