David Burkin, 39, was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle in Kansas City, Kansas, in the late hours of Sunday, September 4, 2016. Police were initially called to what was reported as an accident shortly before midnight in the 900 block of Argentine Boulevard; officers discovered Burkin suffering from the gunshot injury, and he was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Investigators determined the shooting happened in front of Zavala Tire Service at 954 Argentine Boulevard. The owner of the tire shop, Celestino Zavala-Ruiz, was arrested in connection with the killing and charged with second-degree murder by the Wyandotte County District Attorney’s office; he was being held at the Wyandotte County Detention Center on $150,000 bond. One report indicated Burkin was found in a stolen vehicle, and police said community tips helped lead to the arrest.

If anyone saw activity on Argentine Boulevard that night or has information about Burkin’s movements before the shooting, please share what is known.
