David Lee Lenox, 66, was shot and killed on February 27, 2017, just steps from his front door at the Willow Creek Apartment Complex near 99th and Walnut streets in Kansas City, Missouri. A Vietnam veteran and retired Social Security Administration district manager, Lenox was walking his Shih Tzu, Snickers, when he was shot in the head and neck and left in the parking lot. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene; the dog was unharmed.

The killing initially seemed random and produced few leads, prompting Lenox’s family to double a reward for information. Investigators later linked his death to several other unsolved shootings on or near hiking trails and walking paths. DNA from a bottle at another scene tied 22-year-old Fredrick Demond Scott to the string of killings, and a grand jury in 2018 indicted Scott on six counts of first-degree murder and related armed criminal action counts, including the death of David Lenox. Scott pleaded not guilty; reports note investigators found prior threats and that the victims were white.

Does anyone have information about Lenox’s movements that night or about suspicious activity near Willow Creek Apartments?
