Ernest Moore Sr., 71, was shot and killed while investigating gunfire outside a home on Richmond Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas, on December 25, 2017. The house sustained more than a dozen bullet holes and a family member, Moore’s daughter‑in‑law, was struck in the arm and injured during the incident.

Moore went to the front of the house after shots were heard outside and was hit in the front yard; he died at the scene. Law enforcement opened an investigation but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

It remains unclear whether the attack was targeted or a random, drive‑by style shooting. If anyone has information about the shooting on Richmond Avenue that Christmas Day, please come forward to assist the investigation.
