Dontayus Wiles, 40, was shot and killed on the evening of March 16, 2019, in the busy parking lot of Wild Woody’s Happy Foods in Kansas City’s Ingleside neighborhood. He and his wife were returning to their red Chevrolet Tahoe when assailants pulled up beside them in a Chrysler Sebring and opened fire; Wiles suffered multiple gunshot wounds and later died.

Investigators found a GPS tracking device secretly attached to Wiles’s Tahoe. The device had been purchased on Amazon using a credit card in the name of Dontay Campbell. Authorities allege Campbell, Michael Smith, and Lawrence Courtney Lawhorn monitored Wiles’s movements, followed him to the store, and lay in wait. Prosecutors say Lawhorn exited the Sebring and fired a .40-caliber handgun at Wiles while Campbell attempted, unsuccessfully, to remove the tracker during the incident before the men fled.

Campbell, Smith, and Lawhorn were indicted in connection with the killing. Campbell later pleaded guilty to a federal cyberstalking charge that resulted in death and faces up to 30 years; Smith and Lawhorn continue to face charges. Did anyone see the vehicle activity near Wild Woody’s that evening or remember the Chrysler Sebring involved?
