On the evening of Sunday, March 22, 2015, Kelvin B. Paige, 53, was shot and killed near 25th and Campbell streets in Kansas City, Missouri, after a verbal argument with another man identified as Christopher V. Perkins. Paige attempted to drive away with a passenger; Perkins allegedly produced a firearm and fired at the vehicle. The passenger escaped on foot. Paige’s car rolled about a block and crashed into a light pole at 25th and Harrison streets.

Police arrived shortly after 8:30 p.m. and found Paige’s body outside the wrecked vehicle. Witnesses reported seeing a man dragging Paige’s body by the ankles toward a pickup truck matching a description tied to Perkins.Christopher V. Perkins, then 49, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, an alternative count of felony murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. A Jackson County jury convicted Perkins in October 2016 of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon.

Before that retrial began, Perkins, then 51, pleaded guilty in June 2017 to voluntary manslaughter and one count of armed criminal action; unlawful use of a weapon was dismissed and he was sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.What did anyone who was in that neighborhood on March 22, 2015, see or hear that evening?
