Michael Taylor, 22, was fatally shot in the 3300 block of College Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, in December 2014. He had been called over to a parked car to speak with a woman when a man inside the vehicle opened fire, killing Taylor.

Kansas City police identified a suspect, Mark A. Looney, then 23, who was charged with second-degree murder. Accounts of the moments before the shooting conflicted: the shooter claimed Taylor pulled a gun, while a witness said Taylor was unarmed and had left his firearm in his vehicle.

In December 2016, with Looney’s trial about to start, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the second-degree murder charge after a judge denied a prosecutor’s continuance request; the prosecutor’s office said it intended to refile.

Anyone who knew Michael or has information about what happened that day is asked to come forward.
