Marcus Gammage, 51, was killed in Kansas City on April 12, 2026, after being shot in the torso while in his black Ford F-250 tow truck at 27th and Troost. Emergency personnel took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Witnesses described a black Mercedes arriving at the scene and three men getting out and approaching Gammage’s tow truck. Investigators believe he was towing a vehicle connected to the suspect when a confrontation turned violent. Two men fled in the Mercedes and a third left on foot.

An arrest followed on April 16 when Josue Ceniceros-Angel was taken into custody after shell casings were found at his residence. He denied firing a weapon but was charged in Jackson County with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon; a warrant set bond at cash-only $100,000. The case is active in the judicial system.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting, saw the black Mercedes, or has information about the incident is asked to come forward.
