On the evening of January 17, 2023, officers in Kansas City, Missouri, responded to reports of gunfire in the eastern part of the city. Just after 6:10 p.m. they went to an apartment complex in the 10300 block of East 42nd Street, east of Pittman Road, where a vehicle in the parking lot contained an unresponsive man identified as 25-year-old Dahrell Johnson.

Officers found Johnson with gunshot wounds and began life-saving measures before EMS took him to a nearby hospital. He later died of his injuries. Detectives canvassed the area for witnesses and processed evidence, but police did not have a suspect description and no arrests were announced; the investigation remained active.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about Johnson’s movements that evening, please share what you know with investigators.
