James Monroe Williams, a 30-year-old Black man from Kansas City, Missouri, was shot in the early morning hours of January 18, 2015. Police were dispatched about 4:57 a.m. to the 11700 block of Fuller Road; officers found Williams with an apparent gunshot wound and he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

There is no publicly shared suspect description, no vehicle mentioned, no stated motive and no public sequence of events or witness account beyond the initial response and transport to the hospital.

An obituary using his given name and nickname noted funeral arrangements at New Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church and burial at XII Gates Memorial Gardens. Does anyone have information about what happened on Fuller Road that night or recall seeing anything around 4:57 a.m. on January 18, 2015?
