Keith Gorham, 37, was shot and killed in Kansas City, Missouri, in the early hours of April 13, 2022. The shooting happened around 3:15 a.m. at a residence near East 38th Street and Wabash Avenue during a house party. Officers who were nearby investigating a non-injury car crash heard gunfire and found three victims; two were injured and Gorham’s wounds were life-threatening. He was taken to a local hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Gorham was described by his mother as a bookworm and a philosopher, the eldest of four children who often stepped into a leadership role. He was planning a family-owned trucking company, a venture his mother said is now on hold. He had earned a GED and trade certifications while incarcerated and was trying to be a positive role model.

No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced and the investigation remains open. If anyone knew Keith or has information about the April 13 shooting, please share what you know.
