On the evening of May 14, 2022, 42-year-old Aaron Eichelberger Sr. was ambushed while driving in Kansas City, Missouri, after picking up his 14-year-old daughter. A gray four-door vehicle began trailing his car near 88th Terrace and James A. Reed Road, and occupants of that vehicle opened fire. The shooting forced Eichelberger’s car off the road; responders found him with gunshot wounds in the wrecked vehicle. His daughter, in the passenger seat, was not physically injured but witnessed the attack. Eichelberger was taken for medical treatment and died on May 15, 2022.

Police asked the public for information about the gray sedan and said there was no indication Eichelberger had provoked the attack or been involved in activities that would make him a target. As of June 2022 no suspects had been identified and no arrests had been announced. Family members remembered him as a devoted father of five, a former Ruskin High School and Missouri Southern State University football player, and someone who loved cooking, fishing, and the Kansas City Chiefs.

If anyone was near 88th Terrace and James A. Reed Road that evening or saw a gray four-door vehicle following another car, can you share what you remember?
