A block party near 27th Street and Askew Avenue in Kansas City on the night of June 25, 2011, was shattered by gunfire around 11:30 p.m. Four men were shot during the incident; Rodney Curtis, 29, died after being taken to hospital that night. Kadeem J Robinson, 21, was among those critically wounded and succumbed to his injuries on July 10, 2011, more than two weeks after the shooting.

Authorities initially described a chaotic scene with multiple victims and said they were still looking for the person responsible; early reports did not name a suspect or describe an arrest connected to the shootings. The case centers on who opened fire at a neighborhood celebration and how the shooter escaped amid so many witnesses.
