Donnell Louis, 22, was killed in a daytime shooting on May 21, 2018, in a residential area of Kansas City, Missouri near East 44th Terrace and Lawn Avenue. Witnesses reported a barrage of gunfire — one person estimated more than 20 shots — and police described the scene as a rolling gun battle with multiple vehicles moving through the streets.

Louis was sitting in the front seat of a brown SUV when it was struck during the exchange; the SUV crashed into a home near 44th Street and Elmwood Avenue. First responders found Louis with fatal gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second person suffered minor injuries and investigators checked hospitals for others who might have fled.

Detectives have kept the case open but have not identified or charged suspects; the people seen firing and those who fled dispersed before police could make arrests. If anyone in the neighborhood that afternoon saw the shooting, the vehicles involved, or knows who was firing, contact investigators with any information.
