Damian Norfleet Jr. was 14 when he was killed on the night of June 24, 2019. He had just finished eighth grade at Grandview Middle School and was a standout left tackle for the Grandview Bulldogs, described as 5 feet 11 inches and 220 pounds with ambitions to play football professionally. Damian was sweeping the floor inside his family’s home in the 13100 block of Ashland Avenue in Grandview, Missouri, at about 11:30 p.m. when a volley of bullets shattered a window. He was struck in the head and chest and died of his wounds; his father, Damian Norfleet Sr., arrived home and tried to render aid while waiting for help to arrive.

A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest. Damian’s family and community remember him as a joyful son and talented athlete; his former teammates honored him on what would have been his senior night by carrying his number 58 jersey onto the field.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing anything in the neighborhood around Ashland Avenue on June 24, 2019?
