In the pre-dawn hours of July 13, 2020, officers responded to a disturbance in the 15900 block of West 127th Street at the Wingfield Apartments in Olathe, Kansas. Near an apartment door they found 41-year-old Lawrence Dale Flaxbeard, a White/Caucasian man and Overland Park resident, with an apparent gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The death was classified as a homicide.

Investigators cordoned the area, canvassed for witnesses and sought security camera footage. Detectives reportedly identified several persons of interest but no suspect description was released. No arrests have been announced and public reports from that period do not name any charged suspects, leaving the case unresolved.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or with knowledge of activity at the Wingfield Apartments that night see or hear anything that could help investigators?
