On the morning of August 24, 2014, officers found 30-year-old Darrell Lynn Fennell Jr. dead on a sidewalk near Truman Road and Woodland Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, the victim of fatal gunshot wounds. Witnesses described a shooter standing over Fennell and firing a black handgun before running toward the nearby TB Watkins Housing Complex, and investigators concluded Fennell had been targeted.

Two days after the killing, officers arrested 35-year-old Reginald L. Abbott, known by the nickname Red, at the same housing complex. Abbott was found with five rounds of .40-caliber ammunition in his pocket; forensic testing linked those live rounds and shell casings from the scene to the same firearm. Abbott was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, later pleading guilty in early 2018 to a reduced count of voluntary manslaughter and receiving a ten-year sentence that was suspended in favor of five years probation.

In October 2018 Abbott was arrested after a high-speed chase and crash; authorities recovered a loaded .40-caliber handgun from the vehicle, leading to federal charges for being a felon in possession of a firearm and placing his suspended sentence in jeopardy.

Did anyone in the area at the time see additional movements or vehicles connected to the shooter?
