On June 3, 2023, shortly after 1 a.m., 20-year-old Cameron Renner of Lawrence, Kansas, was shot and later died after being brought into a local hospital. Residents near 24th Street and Cedarwood Avenue reported hearing gunfire; a car carrying Renner and three other men sped into the hospital’s emergency entrance. Medical staff pulled Renner from the back seat, but he was pronounced dead soon after. The three men in the car initially said they did not know his identity, and police identified Renner with help from the public a few days later.

Renner, born December 17, 2002, in Topeka, was raised in Rossville and Topeka and graduated Shawnee Heights High School in 2021. He worked as a roofer in construction. Investigators linked 23-year-old Maliqe Crenshaw of Lawrence to the shooting; Crenshaw was arrested in November 2023 and charged with second-degree murder. Court filings described an earlier confrontation during which Renner and friends allegedly threatened Crenshaw on a video call, then—wearing masks—arrived at Crenshaw’s apartment and threw an explosive device onto a balcony. Authorities say Crenshaw fired three shots toward the masked individuals and one of his friends later found Renner collapsed in the grass.

If anyone knew Cameron, his movements that night, or has information about the confrontation, please share what is known.
