On the early morning of Sunday, April 10, 2022, officers in Kansas City responded to reports of gunfire in the West Bottoms near Union Avenue and Mulberry Street. First responders found two adult males on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds; 20-year-old Creighton Goddard of Olathe, Kansas, was unresponsive and later died at a hospital. A second adult was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and told investigators unknown suspects opened fire while the pair were on the street.

Goddard was born in Omaha, Nebraska, graduated Olathe East High School in 2020, and worked for Reed Construction. He enjoyed fishing and working on cars. Detectives processed the scene, announced the shooting as Kansas City’s 37th homicide of the year, and offered up to a $25,000 reward for information. No arrests had been announced in the immediate aftermath.

Does anyone who was in the West Bottoms that weekend have information that could help investigators?
