On March 5, 2014, 32-year-old David E. Krantz was shot in the Northeast area of Kansas City, Missouri. Officers were called to Norledge and White Avenues about 10:30 a.m. and found Krantz with fatal gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

Witnesses said the shooting happened near that intersection and Krantz ran toward the 300 block of Wheeling Avenue before collapsing in a backyard, where a homeowner who knew him called police. Investigators reported Krantz had been staying with various friends and relatives at the time and had been seen wandering the neighborhood prior to the attack, but his reason for being there and any motive were not known.

No arrests were announced immediately after the killing, and detectives were still soliciting tips publicly as of 2018. Krantz is survived by his parents, siblings, and nine children. If anyone remembers seeing Krantz that morning or has information about the shooting, please contact the police tip line.
