William Paul Simmons, 61, was found dead after a house fire at his home in the 300 block of Oakley Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Firefighters discovered his body inside the charred residence after flames were extinguished. An autopsy later showed Simmons had been shot and investigators concluded the fire was set to conceal the killing.

Detectives focused on a recent acquaintance, 25-year-old Shameece S. Mosby, known by the street name Crystel. Simmons had recently bought a black 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe and allowed Mosby to drive it; the vehicle went missing after the fire. When the car was recovered painted over with white spray paint and purple house paint, investigators found clothing, a receipt for a transaction on a food stamp card registered to Mosby, and DNA on clothing linking her to the vehicle.

Mosby admitted to shooting Simmons and setting the fire and was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and second-degree arson. Does anyone have information about Simmons, Mosby, or the events leading up to the fire that could help clarify what happened?
