Marc A. Bivins, 25, was found mortally wounded on the side of a road in the 10100 block of Raytown Road in Kansas City, Missouri, on New Year’s Day 2016. A 911 caller discovered him with a life-threatening injury; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead that evening. An autopsy ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head and the manner homicide. Investigators noted bloodied pharmacy packaging at the scene and that Bivins had no wallet, identification, or cell phone with him.

Police traced Bivins’ movements that day to a CVS drive-thru where surveillance showed him in the back seat of a white four-door vehicle after picking up a prescription for alprazolam (Xanax). Investigators say he had arranged to trade some pills for cocaine with Michael L. Woodard. Court documents allege that during an argument over the amount of Xanax, Woodard, then 27, shot Bivins in the head, the body was dumped roadside, and the perpetrators left with the pills. The vehicle was later burned, and the next day Woodard sought treatment for severe burns, saying a car he was working on caught fire. In June 2018 Woodard was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and intent to distribute a controlled substance; bail was set at $250,000.

Does anyone have information about Bivins’ movements that day or about the white four-door vehicle seen on surveillance?
