Michael Mike Robert Comp, a 40-year-old Caucasian man, was fatally shot in Topeka, Kansas, on the evening of Tuesday, January 31, 2023. Officers who responded to the 2000 block of SE 29th St. found Comp with life-threatening injuries; he was taken to a local hospital and later died. The case was reclassified as a homicide.

In the days after the shooting the Topeka Police Department arrested two 18-year-olds, Gage H. Anderson and Shane G. Ballard. The Shawnee County district attorney charged both with first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and burglary. Court documents later identified Ballard as the person who fired the shots that killed Comp. Both men subsequently entered plea agreements: Ballard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, and Anderson pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and burglary.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember activity on SE 29th St. the evening of January 31, 2023?
