Leerick Kelley, 20, was killed in a midday double homicide on November 22, 2022, in Kansas City’s Santa Fe neighborhood. Around 1:00 p.m. Kelley and another 20-year-old man, Montez Mack, were walking north on the east sidewalk of Prospect Avenue near 28th Street when surveillance footage reportedly shows both men startled and crouching as gunfire erupted. One victim allegedly fired back while fleeing, but both were found unresponsive just west of the intersection and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses said multiple shooters ran east and jumped fences toward Lockridge Avenue. Officers established a perimeter and found two suspects behind a residence on the 2900 block of Bales Avenue; one was allegedly armed with an AR-style rifle. Investigators recovered about 30 shell casings at the scene.

Prosecutors charged brothers 20-year-old Marques Derrick Smith and 18-year-old Marquan D. Smith with two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. Conflicting accounts about the brothers’ whereabouts were reported during questioning, and prosecutors sought to hold them without bond.

Does anyone have information about Kelley’s last movements or the area near 28th and Prospect that could help this case?
