Charlie Rambo Roosevelt was 31 when he was found fatally shot on the front porch of a home in the 2500 block of Van Brunt Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 21, 2017. Police arrived shortly after 10 p.m. and pronounced him dead at the scene after witnesses reported a shooting.

Witnesses described an argument between Williams and a group of visitors that included Felipe Reyna Jr. and Branden L. Hendren. Those witnesses said Williams was animated but unarmed and made no threatening moves. Shots were fired from both a shotgun and a handgun; the shooters left in vehicles, leaving Williams mortally wounded. Court filings later show Reyna admitted firing a shotgun and implicated Hendren, who was said to have fired a handgun.

Both men were charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action; Hendren pleaded guilty and received 25 years in November 2020, and Reyna pleaded guilty and received 20 years in April 2022. Reports say the confrontation began over a pair of shoes belonging to a female acquaintance. Does anyone have information about that night or about Williams’ movements earlier that evening?
