A late-summer dispute in Kansas City turned deadly on August 25, 2019, when a fight between 29-year-old Marcus Neal and 28-year-old Cartez Seals outside the Brush Creek Community Center ended in gunfire. The center was closed at the time. During the altercation a handgun reportedly fell to the ground. A third person who had been recording the fight then picked up a gun and opened fire on both men.

Emergency crews found both men with gunshot wounds near Cleveland Avenue and Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard; one was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died at a hospital. Investigators described the earlier confrontation as stemming from an ongoing feud. Days after the shooting, a 17-year-old named Treshaun Hawkins surrendered and was charged with second-degree murder in Seals’s death and armed criminal action; surveillance footage reportedly captured the incident.

If anyone witnessed the fight or has information about what led up to it, please share details with the discussion.
