Raymond Jones, 58, was fatally shot on January 21, 2017, in the 8200 block of Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Officers responded around midnight after reports of gunfire and found Jones lying in the street just north of a Family Dollar store with two gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators tied the killing to an earlier argument inside a nearby apartment between Jones and 54-year-old Thomas Earl Midgette Jr. Surveillance footage showed Midgette leave the apartment holding his injured nose, later follow Jones while carrying a firearm, approach him on the street, and the shooting that followed. A witness said Midgette visited her apartment afterward and implied Raymond would not be seen again. A search of Midgette’s residence recovered clothing like that in the video and 20-gauge shotgun shells similar to a casing found near the body.

Midgette was identified as the primary suspect, arrested, and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; he later pleaded guilty to reduced charges including second-degree murder and armed criminal action and was sentenced in March 2019. Does anyone have additional information about that night or recall seeing activity near Troost and the Family Dollar on January 21, 2017?
