On March 25, 2018, 24-year-old Lorenzo Le’Mont Lucas was found unresponsive inside a parked minivan in the 2700 block of Lafayette Street in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Officers determined he had sustained a fatal gunshot wound; the scene was processed and a homicide investigation opened.

Detectives interviewed several people during the early inquiry, including some already in custody on unrelated matters, but no specific shooter was publicly identified and no charges were filed. Despite evidence collection and ongoing follow-up, the circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear.

As of late 2024 the case remains unsolved with no arrests or convictions. Police have stayed in contact with the Lucas family, who continue to press for answers.

Did anyone in the Lafayette Street area in March 2018 see or hear anything that could help resolve this case?
