On the afternoon of September 2, 2014, a series of violent attacks in the Woodbridge cul-de-sac of Kansas City, Missouri, left five people dead. Darrel Hurst, 63, and his 88-year-old mother Lorene Hurst were found shot to death in the front yard of their home; they had apparently just returned from a grocery trip when they encountered the gunman. Neighbor Susan Choucroun was fatally shot in her driveway, and an elderly couple, George and Anna Taylor, were brutally assaulted in their basement and later died from their injuries after an apparent attempted burglary targeting the Taylors’ vintage Jaguar.

Authorities say the suspect fled in an SUV stolen from the Taylor residence and was later found walking along Interstate 29; officers recovered a loaded shotgun concealed in his pant leg and the stolen vehicle keys. The suspect was charged with five counts of first-degree murder and related offenses; a jury found him guilty in April 2019 and a judge imposed five consecutive life sentences without parole in May 2019. Does anyone in the area remember anything from that afternoon that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
