Kristofor A. Washington, 24, of Olathe, Kansas, was found fatally shot in the driver’s seat of his car on March 4, 2014, in a secluded industrial parking lot in the 8200 block of East 23rd Trafficway in Kansas City, Missouri. A handgun was reportedly found in his lap. Witnesses said they heard gunshots and saw a maroon SUV with a broken window flee the scene, and investigators believed Washington had arranged to meet someone there.

Family described Washington as a father to a 5-year-old son who was trying to turn his life around after some prior legal trouble; he had been working odd jobs after a grant-funded position installing energy-efficient upgrades was not renewed. A 19-year-old man was briefly taken into custody for questioning, but released while the Jackson County prosecutor’s office said more investigative work was needed before any charges could be filed. The maroon SUV lead did not immediately produce a resolution.

Does anyone have information about that maroon SUV, the meeting in the industrial lot, or Washington’s contacts in early March 2014?
