Christina L. Cunningham, 23, was found with life-threatening gunshot wounds in a ditch along Interstate 29 near Northwest 56th Street in Platte County on the night of Saturday, February 4, 2017. A Missouri Highway Patrol trooper discovered an abandoned vehicle on the south entrance ramp about 10:30 p.m., then found Cunningham nearby; she was taken to a local hospital and later died of her injuries.

Investigators concluded she was likely shot while inside the car and that the shooter may have been a passenger. It remains unclear whether she was pushed or crawled from the vehicle, and police have not released a motive or the identity of the person she was planning to meet. Cunningham was a 2011 Washington High School graduate who had been a ROTC commander and worked at a hotel near Kansas Speedway.

No arrests had been announced and the case was listed as an unsolved homicide. Did anyone who knew Christina or who was in that area on February 4, 2017 come forward with information?
