On the evening of June 12, 2016, Thomas M. Fayne, 21, was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car in the 6600 block of Park Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, when another vehicle pulled up. Witnesses say a man exited the passenger side, fired multiple shots into Fayne’s car and then fled. Fayne was hit several times, transported to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries. A woman and a 2-year-old child who were in the car with him were not physically injured.

Investigators say witnesses told them the shooter was motivated by a grudge over a comment Fayne had made about two weeks earlier. That information led police to identify and arrest 20-year-old Cardell T. Scott, who was charged with second-degree murder, endangering the welfare of a child, and two counts of armed criminal action. Scott pleaded guilty to the charges and the conviction was later affirmed on appeal in June 2022.

Did anyone in Kansas City know Fayne or see the vehicle that pulled up that night?
