Mohamed Mohamud, 28, was found shot to death inside a car in the parking lot of the Gateway Plaza Townhomes in the 1500 block of North Fifth Street in Kansas City, KS, in the early morning hours of May 20, 2018. Police arrived after a call and discovered Mohamud with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered about a dozen evidence markers around the vehicle, reflecting the number of bullet casings at the scene.

The initial investigation did not immediately produce suspects and police appealed to the public for information. In August 2018 authorities arrested two people: 24-year-old Kalen Mock and 28-year-old Tyshedra Mitchell, both charged with first-degree murder. Mock was held on $500,000 bond and Mitchell on $200,000 bond while both were booked into the Wyandotte County Detention Center.

Anyone who knew Mohamed or who has information about the shooting or the area that morning is asked to come forward.
