Sederick Jones, 23, was fatally shot in Kansas City, Missouri, in the early hours of January 1, 2016. The shooting occurred about 2:49 a.m. in a parking lot in the 5200 block of East 112th Terrace, just outside an event hall where a New Year’s Eve party had been held. Jones had gone to the venue late to speak with his ex-girlfriend; the three of them spent roughly an hour in the parking lot seated in Destynie Wright’s vehicle while Jones tried to persuade his ex to leave with him.

Witnesses and investigators reported Jones had a handgun but did not threaten anyone while in the car. Wright began texting her boyfriend, Ramon Boyd, urging him to come to the scene; investigators later recovered those messages and cell tower data placing Boyd nearby. When Boyd arrived, gunfire erupted. Jones was found dead at the scene, lying on top of a weapon.

Both Wright and Boyd were charged in Jones’s death; Wright was convicted and sentenced in December 2017, and Boyd was convicted at trial in April 2018. Does anyone have information about the people who were at that event or who saw the vehicle in the parking lot that night?
