On November 7, 2015, police in Kansas City, Missouri, found 32-year-old Kevin L. Durham, Sr. inside a parked vehicle near 41st Street and Prospect Avenue with fatal gunshot wounds. Witnesses said Durham was seated in his car when a man exited a nearby van, approached and fired multiple shots before fleeing. Durham was pronounced dead shortly after officers arrived.

Investigators used surveillance footage and images from a public transportation project to identify a light blue minivan linked to the shooting, and social media posts to connect the van and a shooter description to a suspect named Lakeith R. Courtney, also known as Lil Booka. Authorities said Courtney had argued with Durham before the shooting and fled the area; he was believed to be hiding in Minneapolis in early 2016.

Courtney was apprehended and returned to Missouri to face charges. He pleaded guilty to reduced counts of second-degree murder and armed criminal action after initially being charged with first-degree murder, admitting he drove his girlfriend’s minivan to the scene, walked up to Durham’s vehicle and shot him with a semiautomatic pistol. Anyone with information about Kevin Durham or the case is asked to come forward.
