Jacob L Hendren, 30, was shot to death in the Old Northeast neighborhood of Kansas City on the evening of Wednesday, November 27, 2013. Relatives had driven him to a residential area near the 300 block of Cypress Avenue to run an errand; he and another relative exited the vehicle while the driver waited nearby. Shortly after Hendren left the car the driver heard gunfire and began searching the neighborhood but could not find him.

Officers later located Hendren’s body on a sidewalk in the 300 block of Cypress Avenue; he had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said he had once lived in Harrisonville, Missouri, and had worked at a machine shop earlier that year, but his most recent address was unclear. No arrests were announced and the motive remained under investigation.

If anyone was in the Old Northeast around Cypress Avenue that evening or has information about who dropped Hendren off or who might have been responsible, please share what you know.
