Craig S. Dydell was 28 when he was shot dead on the evening of August 10, 2016, in Kansas City, Missouri. Known on stage as Chop Suey, he performed with the local group Bad Habits, which he had formed with his twin brother and friends and which was due to play an event the following weekend. Officers were called just before 7:00 p.m. to the 4000 block of Olive Street and found Dydell in a grassy area near the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene and recorded as Kansas City’s 65th homicide that year.

Family members say Dydell was on the phone with his twin brother at the exact moment the shooting occurred. He left behind a one-year-old daughter, Kayla, and his mother, Jessica Dydell, has urged anyone with information to come forward, expressing frustration over the lack of leads. As of late 2016 there had been no arrests and detectives had not publicly identified suspects.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night on Olive Street that could help the investigation?
