Andre L. Barnes was 49 when he was found dead in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 1, 2017 — one of three men discovered over a single Fourth of July weekend that produced seven fatalities and 15 separate shootings in the city. Barnes and 31-year-old John W. Waldon were found on a nearby street after Darren L. Harris, 46, had been located dead inside a car. All three men were from Tulsa, Oklahoma; investigators say they had come to Kansas City to collect a debt. Court documents allege Harris went to get money from Tyree West, who was said to owe him between $10,000 and $20,000 from a prior PCP-related transaction. For nearly three years the killings remained without arrests, until an indictment filed in April 2020 charged four Kansas City men with involvement in the triple homicide. Prosecutors charged Rashidi Crosdale and Tyree West with three counts of first-degree murder and armed criminal action; Terrence Harden and Ravon Freeman were charged with two counts each of first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

Did anyone know Barnes or the other victims, or have information about the events that weekend?
