A Labor Day gathering in the Park Farms neighborhood of South Kansas City turned deadly on the night of September 5, 2022. Police were called about 10:45 p.m. to a residence in the 7300 block of Manchester Avenue after reports of a shooting at a crowded house party. Four people were struck; 26-year-old Black male Deshawn Dudley and 20-year-old Dondre Hart were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the attack resembled an ambush by at least two people who reportedly stood on chairs in the backyard of a neighboring property to look over a tall wooden privacy fence and fire multiple rounds into the party. Shell casings and other evidence were recovered and detectives executed a search warrant at the home to collect surveillance footage, but no arrests were announced and the case was listed among Kansas City Police Department unsolved homicides.

If anyone who attended that gathering or who lives nearby saw individuals climbing onto chairs in the neighboring yard or noticed suspicious activity before or after the shooting, please share what was seen with detectives.
