On the evening of September 8, 2015, three people were found shot to death inside a house in the 5900 block of East 84th Street in south Kansas City. Victims were 18-year-old Shannon Rollins Jr., 17-year-old Bianca R. Fletcher, and Bianca’s young son, Joseph. The discovery was made by Bianca’s brother.

Shannon was described as a dance enthusiast who performed with a local freestyle crew called #FindOut and had appeared with rapper Tech N9ne. He was a father to a one-year-old son, working toward his GED and recently promoted at his job. Police arrested 22-year-old Joseph L. Nelson, an ex-boyfriend of Bianca Fletcher, and charged him in connection with the killings. Court documents say an argument escalated after Fletcher threw a diaper box; Nelson allegedly shot her, then shot Shannon and the infant because they had witnessed the attack and because the baby’s crying might alert neighbors. Investigators say Nelson collected shell casings, sold the weapon, and burned clothing; witnesses later provided information linking him to the crime.

Does anyone have memories of Shannon, his dancing, or the neighborhood that could add context to what happened that night?
