John Michael Buckley, 50, was found dead in the basement of his Kansas City, Missouri, home on November 30, 2023. Police responded to a medical call at a residence in the 11700 block of Troost Avenue and discovered Buckley with multiple gunshot wounds.

A person who lived with Buckley, 29-year-old Gregory J. Foster, was taken into custody the same day as a person of interest. Court documents say Foster found a note from Buckley asking him to vacate the premises within three days; a confrontation followed and Foster admitted to shooting Buckley multiple times in the basement. Foster called 911 afterward, expressed suicidal intentions, and was apprehended without further incident.

Prosecutors in Jackson County have charged Gregory J. Foster with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with Buckley’s death. Did anyone in the Troost Avenue area know Buckley or Foster and notice anything unusual in the days before November 30, 2023?
