Late on the night of Sunday, June 11, 2017, officers were called to a residence in the 4200 block of Monroe Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, after a shooting. First responders found 27-year-old Michael Holmes with a life-threatening gunshot wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died a short time later. Before he died, Holmes identified his shooter by the nickname Little Meechie.

Investigators say Holmes had been at the house when he received texts from someone calling himself Meechie who wanted to buy a firearm. Witnesses reported Holmes refused to sell, an argument followed, and the suspect shot him before fleeing on foot wearing a white hooded jacket. Detectives tracked a cell phone linked to the suspect to 16-year-old Demetrius Woods; officers say Woods was found in possession of a .40-caliber handgun that matched shell casings from the scene. While in juvenile custody, Woods admitted in a letter that he wrote to killing Holmes. A judge later ordered Woods tried as an adult and the Jackson County Prosecutor charged him with second-degree murder and armed criminal action.

Did anyone in the Monroe Avenue area see a person in a white hooded jacket that night or recognize the nickname Little Meechie?
