On April 1, 2019, 40-year-old Michael A. Garrett was shot and killed while riding as a passenger in a Ford Fusion near East 63rd Street and Manchester Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. A silver Dodge Ram pulled up alongside the Fusion and witnesses saw a rifle protruding from the truck’s rear driver’s side window before multiple shots struck the Fusion. Garrett was pronounced dead at the scene; the female driver was injured and taken to a hospital.

Surveillance footage showed a distinctive wheelchair in the pickup’s bed and helped identify the truck. License plate information led investigators to an Enterprise Rental record showing the vehicle had been rented minutes earlier by 24-year-old Bryant E. Robinson; the truck was returned shortly after the shooting. Court records show Robinson had been paralyzed from the chest down after a 2013 shooting in which Garrett was later identified as a suspect; prosecutors did not file charges in 2013 because Robinson declined to cooperate. Authorities described the April 2019 killing as retaliatory and charged Robinson with accessory to second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of armed criminal action. Police were seeking information about a second person believed to have been involved.

Does anyone have information about the pickup truck, the distinctive wheelchair seen in the bed, or the person who may have been driving or assisting in the attack?
