Dakota Ray Howe was 26 when he was killed by gunfire on November 3, 2020, in Kansas City, Kansas. He was remembered by family as kindhearted and deeply sentimental, known to bring strays home and to have a big sense of humor. Born January 4, 1994, Dakota had worked with his father at the family business, Environmental Consortium, and was expected to help lead the company in the future.

Reports say he was shot and left to die in the street. No arrests or suspect identifications have been reported, and the case remains unsolved. His family, including his parents and older brother, continue to seek answers and have called for an end to senseless gun violence that took his life.

If anyone knew Dakota, his movements that day, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
