Daron O Hayden, 25, was found fatally shot inside his Kansas City, Missouri home in the 9100 block of Tennessee Avenue on the morning of July 10, 2013. He had been living in that house with his brother for about a year after inheriting the property from their mother. The brother discovered Daron unresponsive around 2:40 a.m., then contacted their father and law enforcement.

Officers confirmed Hayden had been shot. Investigators canvassed the neighborhood just north of Bannister Road and reported no signs of forced entry, saying they did not believe the killing resulted from a burglary or a random act of violence. Detectives also announced they had no suspect information or clear motive to release; Hayden was scheduled to appear in court the following month on a resisting arrest charge, which investigators noted was unrelated.

Anyone with information about who might have been in the house that night or about the events leading up to the shooting is asked to come forward.
