On the morning of August 30, 2015, gunfire erupted in the 3400 block of East Park Avenue in Kansas City. Justin J. Butler, 28, was on the front porch of a home when a shootout occurred between people in the street and people on the porch. Butler was killed; another man on the porch was wounded and a juvenile inside the home suffered a gunshot wound to his hand. A woman and another child in the house were unharmed.

Earlier that same night, about 3 a.m., someone set the home’s front porch on fire, suggesting the violence may have been targeted. Investigators recovered 17 shell casings in the street and a broken driver’s side mirror. A witness inside the home identified Joshua P. Randolph as one of the shooters firing from one of two cars that passed the house. Shell casings found on Randolph’s vehicle matched those from the scene and the broken mirror was traced to a relative’s car.

Does anyone have information about the shooting that morning or knew Justin Butler and can help fill in what happened?
