Marco Cardino, 19, was found fatally shot in his car at Black Bob Park in Olathe, Kansas, in the early morning hours of May 14, 2022. Authorities responded to reports of gunshots shortly before 4 a.m.; Cardino had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The killing was reported as Olathe’s first homicide of 2022.

Investigators say the shooting followed a planned robbery. A group of teenagers arranged to meet Cardino at the park under the pretense of buying marijuana but intended to steal the drugs. According to prosecutors, Cardino tried to flee and a teen who pursued him fired multiple shots. Seven teenagers were arrested and charged: four 14-year-olds, two 13-year-olds, and a 17-year-old. Prosecutors sought to try the older teens as adults, and court proceedings produced guilty pleas and sentences for several of those involved.

Does anyone have information about Marco, the meeting at Black Bob Park, or the events that night?
