On the evening of August 21, 2019, 17-year-old Zavion Hall was shot outside a home in the 4400 block of Cypress Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, after an argument with another male that witnesses described as likely in his late teens. The confrontation escalated and the other person produced a firearm, firing multiple times. Hall was struck in the front yard, transported to a local hospital, and pronounced dead.

The gunfire also wounded Hall’s 7-year-old sister, who had been playing nearby; family members took her to a medical facility and she survived, later listed in stable condition. Witnesses reported seeing a young male walking down the street before the shooting, and the shooter ran from the scene on foot in an unknown direction. Police canvassed the neighborhood and interviewed potential witnesses but made no immediate arrest.

As of late 2022 the case remained unsolved with no arrest announced and investigators treating it as a cold case. Anyone who knew Zavion, his family, or who has information about the shooting or the young man seen in the area is asked to come forward.
