On the evening of August 19, 2016, officers in Kansas City, Missouri, responded to reports of gunfire at a residence in the 5700 block of Manchester Avenue. They found 31-year-old Keenon A. Durham inside the home with fatal gunshot wounds; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say the rounds were fired into the dwelling from outside. The shots struck a bedroom where a child was present; the child was not physically harmed. Witnesses reported seeing a man run from the residence after the shooting and one witness said the same man had driven past the home earlier that day.

In early September 2016, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office charged 29-year-old Victor R. Nevels of Kansas City with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, and two counts of armed criminal action; prosecutors requested a $400,000 bond. If anyone has information about the shooting or Durham’s movements that evening, please come forward.
