Edgeric LaDarron Beasley, 19, was killed in south Kansas City in late spring 2009 after a burst of gunfire in a parking lot on the 9300 block of Bales Avenue. Police were dispatched about 8:35 p.m.; when officers arrived Beasley had no signs of life. Witnesses reported a silver-colored SUV fled the scene after the shooting.

Public death notices listed May 18, 2009 as the date of death, while the police response is described on May 19, 2009, a discrepancy noted in some records. In the days after the killing the same stretch of Bales Avenue saw another violent incident — a stabbing in the 9400 block — though that report did not link the two events. Detectives indicated there were no suspects in custody and urged anyone with information to contact the TIPS Hotline; an online memorial update on August 21, 2009 also stated no suspects had been identified.

Does anyone have information about that night on Bales Avenue or recall seeing a silver SUV in the area?
