On the afternoon of March 11, 2019, officers conducting a welfare check at a residence in the 3500 block of Norton Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, found two men dead from gunshot wounds. One victim was 32-year-old Michael Lee Scott, a Black man who had recently celebrated his birthday in early February and worked at a Georgia-Pacific warehouse. He left four children, from an infant to a teenager, and family remembered him as a dedicated father who had been in good spirits during their last interaction.

The other victim was 21-year-old JaSean C. Rice. The street was cordoned off and homicide detectives opened an investigation into the double killing. Community members and groups, including the AdHoc Group Against Crime, held a vigil at the scene and urged witnesses to come forward. No arrests or identified suspects had been announced at the time of the reports.

If anyone knew Michael’s movements that day or has information about the shootings, please share what is known with investigators.
