David Tate, 34, was found shot and unresponsive inside a midtown Kansas City apartment in the 4100 block of McGee Street on the evening of April 23, 2022. Officers responded to a shooting call at about 8 p.m.; he was discovered with a gunshot wound and was later pronounced dead after efforts by officers and emergency medical personnel.

David had spent the earlier part of that day with his brother John, having brunch and sharing laughs. He worked for a local roofing and renovating company and was remembered by family and friends as loving, caring, and well-liked, with a dark or occasionally inappropriate sense of humor. A celebration of his life was held at Nimble Brewing.

Police took a person of interest into custody after the shooting but later released that individual while the investigation continued; the case was expected to be submitted to the prosecutor’s office for review. The family has expressed frustration and grief as they wait for answers. Does anyone who knew David or was in that neighborhood on April 23 have information that could help?
