On July 8, 2000, Thomas Dwayne Everett Sr., age 25, was found dead in the driver’s seat of his car in the 300 block of South Mill Street in Kansas City, Kansas. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene at about 1:00 AM. A 36-year-old woman was in the passenger seat with a gunshot wound to the chest; she survived and was described as the lone witness.

Authorities arrested 18-year-old Cecil Henderson and charged him with first-degree murder for Everett’s death and aggravated battery for the woman’s injuries. Those charges were dismissed on September 26, 2000, reportedly because prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to proceed. The woman’s identity and her relationship to either Everett or Henderson have not been disclosed, and no one has been held accountable for Everett’s killing.

Does anyone have information about that night or about the people involved that could help reopen leads?
