Norez R. Brock, 26, was shot and killed after a confrontation inside a 7-Eleven on Blue Ridge Boulevard in Kansas City on April 27, 2018. Surveillance footage captured a verbal argument between Brock and 31-year-old Theodist A. Lewis; Lewis left the store, returned to wait for Brock, then confronted him again as Brock exited. Lewis shot Brock at close range; Brock was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

Police identified Lewis as the primary suspect, released his photo, and received a tip. He was found the next night hiding in a closet at a residence wearing clothing that matched the surveillance description and with blood on his shirt. A black zip-up hoodie matching the video evidence was recovered behind the house. Lewis was charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action, with prosecutors requesting a $250,000 cash bond.
