William Verner, 24, was fatally shot in Kansas City, Missouri, on Sunday, January 10, 2016. Officers were dispatched to an apartment in the 2700 block of East Linwood Boulevard at about 2:45 p.m. after reports of a disturbance. Verner was found inside with a gunshot wound, taken to a nearby hospital, and later died of his injuries.

Witnesses told investigators Verner had been involved in an altercation with another man just before the shooting. A man who fled the scene surrendered to authorities later the same day and was taken into custody for questioning.

Verner’s death was one of several homicides in Kansas City in the early days of that year. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon or knew William, please come forward with tips.
