Louis David Perez Cantrell, 39, was shot in the early hours of Tuesday, July 5, 2022, on the 200 block of SE Lawrence Street in Topeka, Kansas. Officers found him with a gunshot wound just before 1 a.m.; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Cantrell, born May 2, 1983, was a Topeka native, attended Highland Park High School and worked in cabinetry. Family remembered him for his smile, his love of fishing and music, and his devotion to his children; a celebration of his life was held at Lake Shawnee.

Police identified a suspect within a day and the next evening arrested 20-year-old Jahiem Brown. He was booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon.

Did anyone in the Topeka area know Louis or have information about what happened that night?
