On the evening of July 15, 2025, in Kansas City, Kansas, 49-year-old Larone Brasfield, a Black man, was shot in the 1500 block of North 25th Street near Freeman Avenue. Police arrived shortly after 6 p.m. and found Brasfield with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Authorities did not immediately release details about what led to the shooting or identify any suspect at the scene.

Three days later officials publicly identified the victim as Larone Brasfield of Kansas City, Kansas. His death was recorded among several homicides in the metro area that summer, and the community was urged to provide any information to assist investigators. Family and friends remembered him in obituaries and memorial pages.

An arrest was reported later in July when 26-year-old Dezmond Juwhan Colson was booked into the Wyandotte County Jail; court records show Colson was charged in August with second-degree murder in connection with Larone T. Brasfield’s death. Does anyone have information about this shooting or knew Larone and can share details that might help the investigation?
