Ludy Cruz, 41, was killed in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 25, 2014. Officers were called to the Smuggler’s Inn, a nightclub and hotel near Interstate 435 and Front Street, about 2:30 a.m. after reports of a shooting in the rear parking lot. First responders found Cruz with a gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses said a verbal argument inside the club escalated into a physical fight that was briefly broken up, then flared again in the parking lot. There, a suspect approached Cruz and fired a single shot before fleeing into nearby woods. Investigators recovered a 9mm shell casing at the scene that was later matched to a 9mm handgun seized from the suspect’s residence.

Authorities identified 25-year-old Luis Miguel Murillo-Rosales of Kansas City, Kansas, as the primary suspect. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; federal authorities also indicted him for being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm. Cruz’s body was returned to Honduras for burial.

Does anyone have information about witnesses or the events inside the club that night?
