On June 8, 2020, Ricardo Guzman, a 33-year-old male, was killed in Kansas City, Missouri. He was found dead under suspicious circumstances, and his death was classified as a homicide by local authorities. The incident occurred during a year in which Kansas City experienced a historically high number of violent crimes, with 179 homicides reported in 2020.
Guzman was a resident of the area and was known to friends and family by nicknames such as 'Ricky' and 'Gee.'
The investigation into Guzman's death was handled by the Kansas City Police Department. While the case was ruled a homicide, with sources such as the National Gun Violence Memorial indicating he was a victim of gun violence, specific details regarding the apprehension of a suspect in this particular case have not been widely publicized in open media reports. This stands in contrast to other high-profile cases in the region around the same period. Guzman was remembered by his community as a fun-loving and outgoing individual who worked in drywall and was deeply dedicated to his family.
