Joshua Kelley, 26, was found dead in his Springfield, Missouri home at 1040 South Missouri Avenue after officers responded to reports of gunfire shortly before 3:40 a.m. on December 11, 2014. A witness reported hearing a woman scream around the time shots were fired. The Greene County Medical Examiner ruled Kelley’s death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

Springfield Police detectives interviewed witnesses and followed leads, but the investigation stalled. Authorities noted Kelley’s alleged involvement in selling marijuana, and some close to him felt that factor affected how the case was handled. No suspects were publicly identified or arrested, and the case remained open. A close friend later said they had compiled secondhand information naming individuals and alleging one had boasted about the shooting, but that intelligence did not produce charges. Kelley’s mother in New York has criticized the investigation’s progress.

Who in Springfield might have known Joshua’s movements or witnessed anything that night and can help push this case forward?
