Kyle Louis Decuer was found dead in an alley between Topping and Lawndale Avenues in the Historic Northeast of Kansas City on the morning of November 19, 2013. Officers arriving at about 9:00 a.m. discovered the 22-year-old lying in the alley; investigators said his body showed obvious trauma consistent with a homicide.

At the time he was found, Decuer had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court on burglary and assault charges, and his last known address was just blocks from the scene. Police canvassed the neighborhood, released no details about the specific cause of death or a motive, and reported having no suspect information. No arrests or charges were announced following the initial investigation.

Anyone who knew Kyle, saw activity in that alley on November 19, 2013, or has information about who might be responsible is asked to contact the Kansas City Police Department.
