On the evening of Saturday, October 15, 2022, 15-year-old Wyatt Dean Conroy, a Blue Springs High School student, was fatally shot in the parking lot of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection at 601 N.E. Jefferson Street in Blue Springs, Missouri. Authorities found Conroy with a gunshot wound around 6:30 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was active in wrestling, choir and the Boy Scouts, and the parking lot later hosted a community vigil.

Investigators say the encounter began as a social media-arranged transaction for marijuana. Court documents state Conroy and another student met a white Pontiac Grand Prix carrying five people. Surveillance shows Conroy allegedly handed a firearm to a backseat passenger, then grabbed the car as it drove off; a single shot from inside the vehicle struck him in the head. The Pontiac was later found abandoned and burned in a Kansas City alleyway. Witnesses described a front-seat passenger as a Black male in his 20s seen with a handgun in his lap. Detectives executed search warrants on digital devices to trace Snapchat accounts used to set up the meeting. As of late October 2022 no arrests or charges had been announced and police continued to seek tips.

Did anyone in the Blue Springs area see the Pontiac or the people involved that night who hasn’t already spoken to investigators?
