On the afternoon of August 17, 2017, 18-year-old Roosevelt Cooper was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Save-A-Lot at 3410 Troost Avenue near Armour Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. The shooting occurred about 2:45 p.m. Cooper, a recent Hogan Preparatory Academy graduate who had earned second-team Class 3 all-state honors as a defensive back and played on the school’s basketball team, had spent part of the day saying goodbye to friends and getting a haircut at Diamond Cuts. He was due to start college at Missouri State University the next day.

Witnesses said Cooper was called outside the barbershop to speak with someone and then entered a vehicle in the parking lot; a security guard later heard gunfire and found him deceased in the car. Investigators found a blood trail toward a nearby apartment building and reported seeing two males running west from the scene after the shots. No immediate arrests or named suspects were released at the time.

What information can anyone with knowledge of that day or this location share to help piece together what happened?
