Brandon Nunnally, 26, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of August 11, 2016, in a parking lot as he was leaving his shift at the Ford Motor Co. Assembly plant in Claycomo, Missouri. Responding officers found Nunnally deceased with multiple gunshot wounds shortly after 4 a.m. A witness who had parked next to Nunnally reported seeing him talking with another man, hearing a gunshot, seeing Nunnally fall, then watching the gunman stand over him and fire more shots before fleeing in a dark-colored vehicle.

Investigators identified Deonte T. Buffington-Hardy, 25, as the suspect and traced the vehicle to a residence in Kansas City, North, where he was located and arrested. Officers recovered a pistol on Buffington-Hardy consistent with the weapon used in the homicide. His wife told investigators the two men were friends and their children played together; Buffington-Hardy denied knowing Nunnally or involvement in the shooting during questioning.

Prosecutors charged Buffington-Hardy with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; a jury later found him guilty and a judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole. Does anyone have information about Nunnally’s last shift or the people he was with that morning?
