Ronald L. Pruitt, 35, was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside a home in the 8100 block of Blue Ridge Boulevard in Kansas City on Monday, October 5, 2015. Police say they were originally called for a disturbance at the address before the situation was reported as a shooting. Investigators believed the slaying grew out of an earlier conflict at the house. The killing came just ten days after Pruitt’s half-brother was fatally shot in a separate incident, deepening the family’s loss.

Two local men, Jeremiah Ingram, 21, and Rowdy D. Davis, 30, were taken into custody and charged in connection with Pruitt’s death. Both faced counts of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Prosecutors relied on the illegal-possession felony as the predicate for the murder charge, and court papers say Ingram, Davis, and another person were armed with handguns when they entered the residence. A bond of $250,000 was sought for each of the accused.
