Damon Washington Irvin, 35, was found dead on November 1, 2021, in his Kansas City, Kansas, apartment at the Wyandotte Towers complex. A lifelong area resident, he had an associate’s degree in music, played several instruments, and was remembered by loved ones as a spiritual man with a joyful personality and a bright smile.

Authorities deemed his death a homicide. Surveillance footage reportedly showed a man later identified as Perez Reed entering Irvin’s apartment on October 28, 2021, and detectives allege Irvin was killed between October 28 and October 29. Reed was arrested on November 5, 2021, in Independence, Missouri, as he boarded a bus; he was charged in November 2021 with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Irvin and Rau’daja De’Naya Farrow, whose body was found the same week in another apartment in the same building.

Does anyone who knew Damon or who lived at Wyandotte Towers in late October 2021 have information that could help investigators?
