On the night of July 18, 2015, Kansas City police found 31-year-old Misty Marion fatally shot in the back in a parking lot near a convenience store in the 7100 block of Longview Road, adjacent to The Bay Water Park. She was taken to a hospital but succumbed to her wounds. Witnesses said Marion and another person had been approached by a man, fled on foot when the encounter turned hostile, and gunfire was heard as they ran; Marion was struck.

Authorities identified a suspect from witness accounts and prosecutors charged 20-year-old Charles L. Austin with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Records show a prior altercation between Austin and Marion earlier in the year in which she allegedly stabbed him in the neck. Austin acknowledged being in the area but denied firing the shot; reports also attributed disparaging remarks to him about Marion deserving to die. He was held on $250,000 bond as the case proceeded.

Does anyone have information about Marion, the earlier dispute, or the events that night?
