Brian C. Bartlett was eight years old when he was killed in his home in the 8300 block of Tracy Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. On Saturday, August 10, 2019, more than two dozen bullets struck the house in a drive-by shooting while Brian and his mother were asleep; Brian was pronounced dead at a hospital and his mother suffered a serious but nonfatal gunshot wound to her leg. He was described as a bright child who loved playing with LEGOs and was looking forward to the new school year.

Law enforcement treated the incident as a homicide and sought a vehicle believed to be involved, but authorities did not release a detailed description and said they had no information about a possible motive. Investigators said they did not believe Brian was the intended target. A reward was offered and police and community activists asked for tips, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Does anyone who lived near Tracy Avenue in August 2019 have information that could help bring Brian’s killers to justice?
