On the evening of Thursday, January 2, 2025, two men were shot and killed in the parking lot of a shopping plaza in the 8700 block of Blue Ridge Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. Officers responded around 7:30 p.m. after reports of a shooting outside a Little Caesars. The victims were identified as 33-year-old Jeffrey J. Hughes and 36-year-old Samuel J. Hughes; both were pronounced dead at the scene. Jeffrey Hughes was a father of two and Samuel Hughes a father of three.

Police say an argument or altercation involving several people occurred just before the gunfire. This was the third fatal shooting at that Little Caesars location within about ten weeks. Detectives had not identified any suspects or announced arrests in the days following the killings and asked witnesses who might have seen the altercation or anyone fleeing to come forward.

Does anyone have information about that January 2 incident or remember seeing activity in the plaza that evening?
