On the early evening of May 29, 2007, 17-year-old Vonzall Temple Jr. was fatally shot while sitting in a car in a driveway in the 2400 block of Kensington in Kansas City. Witnesses said unknown Black males approached the vehicle and opened fire, striking Vonzall multiple times. He tried to drive away but his car went about one block and struck a pole in the 2500 block of Kensington.

Police found him slumped over in the driver’s seat just before 5:30 p.m.; he died a short time later. The shooters fled on foot and, despite witness reports, no arrests have ever been announced and no individuals have been publicly named as suspects. Law enforcement and community groups have offered a substantial reward for information that leads to an arrest.

Does anyone have information that could help bring Vonzall’s killers to justice?
