In the early hours of Wednesday, June 7, 2017, a burst of gunfire in a Kansas City, Missouri neighborhood left three men dead. Thirty-four-year-old Kevin Murrell was found fatally shot inside a car parked in the 7100 block of Monroe Avenue alongside 28-year-old Chad Cain and 28-year-old Cortez Hanley. Neighbors reported hearing a volley of loud gunshots; police arrived around 1 a.m. and found all three men with no chance of survival.

Investigators examined the victims’ backgrounds as the probe opened, and attention turned in part to Cortez Hanley, known as Duck Sauce, who reportedly had prior contacts with law enforcement and alleged ties to a local gang. Detectives considered whether the killings were connected to gang activity, and explored multiple possible motives. No suspects were identified in the immediate aftermath and no arrests were announced.

Years later the triple homicide remains unsolved and the identities of those responsible are still unknown. If anyone knew Kevin Murrell or has information about the shooting on Monroe Avenue, please come forward.
