In the early hours of March 11, 2017, Dorron Blackmon, 31, was shot and killed after a trip to a BP gas station on East 39th Street in Kansas City, Missouri. He was taken by private vehicle to a local hospital, where he died. Authorities described the shooting as the result of an attempted robbery; surveillance footage and witness statements implicated two men, and the evidence suggested they tried to take a gun from Blackmon while he sat in his vehicle.

Two suspects, Diondre Ganter and Michael Sewell, were arrested and charged with second-degree murder, attempted robbery and two counts of armed criminal action. Sewell also suffered a gunshot wound during the incident. In October 2019 Ganter received a 15-year federal sentence after being convicted as a felon in possession of the firearm used in Blackmon’s shooting; that federal conviction was separate from the Jackson County state charges.

Did anyone see Dorron Blackmon at the BP on East 39th Street that night or have information about those moments before the shooting?
