Brent A. Richards was 26 when he was shot on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2013, in the 4200 block of Woodland Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Officers responding to a call about 11 p.m. found him on the sidewalk with at least one gunshot wound. Paramedics took him to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

Brent survived for four days but died on Saturday, January 4, 2014; the death was classified as a homicide. Police opened an investigation, but no details about suspects, arrests, or motive have been released and the circumstances remain unresolved.

Does anyone have information about Brent, that block of Woodland Avenue on that night, or the shooting that could help the investigation?
