On the afternoon of Saturday, March 7, 2015, 21-year-old Len Mitchell Jr. was shot dead at a friend’s home in the 1800 block of Rowland Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. The shooting occurred about 3 p.m.; Mitchell’s father, Len Mitchell Sr., was also wounded and required hospitalization. Family members described Len Jr. as a quiet, thoughtful young man who sought advice on bettering himself, a Schlagle High School graduate with a love of sports who had lost his mother when he was young.

Police notified the family that a suspect had been taken into custody soon after the shooting. Wyandotte County prosecutors later charged 24-year-old Antonio Alexander McGee with first-degree murder in Len Jr.’s death and attempted first-degree murder for the shooting of his father; McGee was held in the Wyandotte County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

Does anyone have information about Len Mitchell Jr., his life in Kansas City, or the events on Rowland Avenue that afternoon?
