On the early morning of February 22, 2016, police responded to reported gunfire in the Midtown area of Kansas City and found 24-year-old Alejandro S. Lockett lying in the street on the 400 block of Armour Boulevard. He had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The killing was counted as the 27th homicide in the metropolitan area that year, and investigators canvassed the Hyde Park neighborhood for witnesses who might have seen what happened.

At the time, officers said they had no description of a suspect and there were no immediate arrests. The public was asked for leads to explain why Lockett might have been targeted. If anyone remembers seeing activity around Armour Boulevard that night or has information about Alejandro’s movements before the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
