On the evening of Friday, December 11, 2009, police in Kansas City, Missouri, responded to reports of gunfire at 68th Terrace and Myrtle. Officers found 19-year-old Rakim Gonzales unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a blue Toyota; he had suffered fatal gunshot wounds and was holding a handgun when discovered.

Witnesses described a chaotic exchange of gunfire involving multiple parties. Two other vehicles were seen fleeing the scene immediately after the shooting, and onlookers said occupants of those cars allegedly fired at one another as they drove away. Gonzales was dead at the scene and the other individuals escaped before officers could intervene.

Detectives had not taken any suspects into custody and asked the public to contact the TIPS Hotline with information. Are there witnesses who remember the vehicles or the people who fled that evening?
