On Friday, October 20, 2017, 24-year-old Reyanna M. Fisher was found dead inside a rental home in the 2400 block of East 59th Street in Kansas City, Missouri. A relative discovered her unresponsive and police were called shortly before 4:30 p.m. Investigators later determined Fisher died from a gunshot wound and the death was classified as a homicide.

Fisher was a young mother who worked for Aimed for Peace, a nonprofit tied to the city health department that focuses on violence prevention. Friends and family said she treasured her son and had been building a support group for children who lost parents to violence. She had lived at the 59th Street residence for about five or six months and was trying to stabilize her life after earlier legal troubles.

Police canvassed the neighborhood, appealed to the public via the TIPS Hotline and offered a reward for information leading to an arrest. The case remained listed among the police department’s unsolved homicides with no suspects publicly named or taken into custody. If anyone knew Reyanna or has information about what happened, please share it with investigators.
