The Overland Park community was shaken on the morning of May 24, 2021, when a single gunshot in the Greenbrier Condominiums parking lot left 35-year-old Jeren Hinton dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. Officers were dispatched shortly after 5:20 a.m.; first responders pronounced Hinton dead at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing two or three men run from the area and get into a black sedan and a white sedan before driving off.

Police traced a 9mm pistol to a nearby apartment where investigators found DNA and fingerprints belonging to 24-year-old Kyle Anthony Gutierres and DNA from another man. Gutierres was identified as a person of interest on June 22, 2021, and taken into custody the next day. He denied killing Hinton but admitted handling the firearm. He initially faced federal felony firearm charges and local charges of premeditated first-degree murder.

In May 2024 Gutierres pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree intentional murder, with sentencing set for August 2024. No other arrests in connection with Hinton’s death are mentioned. Does anyone have information about the events at the Greenbrier complex that morning or about the apartment linked to the weapon?
