Shortly after 3:15 a.m. on April 16, 2022, Kansas City police responded to reports of gunfire on the 8600 block of Newton Avenue in the city’s south side. Officers found a man with apparent gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim was identified as 36-year-old Jeremiah Foster, a U.S. Army sergeant and two-tour Iraq veteran born in early 1986 to Michael and Lynne Foster.

Police secured the scene and began an investigation. One person of interest was taken into custody shortly after officers arrived, but initial reports did not provide details of any charges. Foster’s family described him as courageous and hardworking; his survivors include his mother, several siblings, and nephews. He was to be laid to rest at Leavenworth National Cemetery.

Does anyone have information about that April 16, 2022 shooting or recall seeing activity on Newton Avenue that night?
