A daylight double homicide on a Sunday afternoon in early October 2023 left a Kansas City family and the Raytown community reeling. Around 2:15 p.m. near 61st Street and Raytown Road, gunfire rang out; responding officers found two young men fatally shot. One victim was identified as Brendon DaKota Fisher, 19, a White male who grew up in the area and attended Grandview schools before finishing at Raytown High School. The other victim was 20-year-old Jaden Thomas Brown.

Detectives began the investigation immediately but the initial response produced few clear leads. By late 2024, no arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly identified; authorities described the motive as unknown and the case remained active. Brendon’s parents are named as Brandon and Ashley. The sudden loss devastated both families and left the neighborhood unsettled.

Does anyone who was near 61st Street and Raytown Road that afternoon have information or saw something that could help bring answers?
