The early morning of September 20, 2015, at Bob’s N Motion near 57th Street and Troost Avenue in Kansas City ended in tragedy when 46-year-old security guard Royce Jeffries was shot and killed. Jeffries, a former Oklahoma State basketball player described by colleagues as a gentle giant who preferred verbal de-escalation, was standing near the front entrance when someone fired nearly a dozen rounds through the open door. Two other people — a fellow security guard and a female patron — were wounded but survived.

Police arrested 45-year-old Carlton Glynn in December 2015 and prosecutors charged him with first-degree murder, two counts of assault and three counts of armed criminal action. At trial in 2017 witnesses and surveillance footage were presented; the defense argued mistaken identity and the jury acquitted Glynn on all counts after about 11 hours of deliberation. The shooting remains unsolved and investigators have said they are still pursuing other suspects.

If anyone was at the club that night or has information about who fired those shots, please share what can help bring clarity to this case.
