In the early morning hours of August 13, 2016, eight-year-old Montell Ross was killed when more than 20 shots were fired into a Kansas City, Missouri, home. Montell and his nine-year-old cousin, Jayden Ugwuh, had been playing video games; both boys were struck and later died at hospital. A 16-year-old girl in the house suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses saw two men flee in a pickup truck. Investigators say they believe there were two shooters and that someone inside the house was likely the intended target; family members, including the boys’ grandmother Ira Ross, have publicly appealed for anyone with information to come forward. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.
