A road-rage confrontation in Lawrence, Kansas, on the evening of May 17, 2022, ended in a deadly shootout that left two men dead, including 53-year-old Monty Ray Amick. The dispute began near 23rd and Harper streets after Amick allegedly commented about loud exhaust on a truck carrying 22-year-old Zachary Michael Sutton as a passenger. The argument continued for several blocks and concluded in the Hy-Vee parking lot on Clinton Parkway.

Both men, Amick alone in a Nissan XTerra and Sutton as a passenger in a Ford F-150, exited their vehicles armed and exchanged gunfire. Police arrived about 9:41 p.m.; Sutton was dead at the scene and Amick was critically injured and later died at a hospital. Investigators recovered two handguns, interviewed the other two Ford occupants, and reviewed nearby surveillance footage. Authorities later said no criminal charges were expected because both shooters were deceased.

Did anyone witness the vehicles or the confrontation that night and hasn’t yet spoken to investigators?
