Christopher Antonio Beaugard, 35, was shot and killed on October 30, 2022, at the Canyon Creek Apartments on Bales Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Police responded about 7:45 p.m. after reports of a shooting and found Beaugard unresponsive behind one of the apartment buildings; officers provided medical aid but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A family member who was at the apartment that evening reported seeing two people near Beaugard’s mother’s vehicle just before the shooting, describing them as two people with dark skin, one a young adult and the other possibly a teenager; after hearing a pop she saw one person run away.

Beaugard is remembered as a loving and patient father to two young daughters. His mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the apartment complex and its management in October 2023, alleging inadequate security despite known violent and property crime in the area. As of late 2023 the Kansas City Police Department continued to investigate, no arrests had been announced, and a reward of up to $25,000 was being offered for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in the area see activity in the parking lot or recognize the two people seen near the vehicle that evening?
