On the afternoon of July 13, 2022, officers responded to the Willow Creek Apartments in the south section of Kansas City after reports of a shooting. Responding personnel found 19-year-old Black male Devin Cunningham inside a unit with a fatal gunshot wound. Officers and emergency medical personnel attempted life-saving measures; Cunningham was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Police detained several people at the scene for questioning and described the crime scene as largely contained to that single apartment. A department spokesperson said detectives were not actively searching for additional suspects, but no murder charges were announced in the days after the shooting. By February 2024 the case remained unsolved, and Cunningham’s grandmother, Brenda Crenshaw, had become active in local anti-violence efforts while advocating for justice.

If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon at Willow Creek Apartments, please share it with the Kansas City Police Department.
