On April 4, 2023, police responded to a shooting at an apartment complex in the 6400 block of Manchester Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Officers found 56-year-old Keith Martin deceased in a second-floor hallway from a fatal gunshot wound; a spent shell casing was recovered inside his apartment, the door of which had been left slightly ajar. Witnesses at the scene called him Uncle Keith and said the shooting followed an earlier domestic dispute.

Investigators say Martin had ejected a woman from his residence shortly before the shooting, which created tensions with her relatives. Surveillance from the Park Highlands Apartments shows two men, later identified as brothers David L. Randall and Darren L. Randall, arriving and confronting Martin at his door; the brothers were seen leaving after shots were fired. Detectives located hostile text messages and jailhouse recordings in which David Randall told an associate to dispose of a firearm. David Randall was arrested the day after the killing during a traffic stop; both brothers were charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action, and court records note at least one plea and later sentencing.
