On September 13, 2016, 15-year-old Ellijah Lejuan Harris of Kansas City, Missouri, was shot and killed in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 9300 block of Bales Avenue. Officers found the sophomore from Central High School with at least one gunshot wound; emergency responders tried to save him but he died at the scene. Family and friends remembered him for his love of basketball and for being protective.

Police reports say a private security guard on duty at the complex told investigators Harris approached him and allegedly produced a firearm and pointed it at the guard. The guard then drew his weapon and fired; he cooperated with investigators and said he acted in self-defense.

Does anyone who knew Ellijah or who was in that neighborhood that night have additional details to share?
