In the summer of 2019, a burst of gunfire shattered the night in Kansas City, Missouri, leaving two men dead in what was described as an act of senseless violence. On the evening of July 28, police officers in the area of the 2100 block of Monroe Avenue were drawn to the sound of gunshots. Upon their arrival, they discovered a grim scene.
Two men, later identified as 31-year-old Montae Robinson and 27-year-old Steven W. Parsons, were found with fatal gunshot wounds.
Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. The sudden and violent loss of two lives sent ripples of grief through their communities.
In the days that followed, the Kansas City Police Department opened a homicide investigation into the double shooting. The incident was one of many homicides to plague the city that year. However, details regarding a motive for the shooting or any potential suspects were not immediately released to the public.
Despite the ongoing investigation, public information regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in the murders of Montae Robinson and Steven W. Parsons has not been made available. The case, like many others, has left a family and community searching for answers and awaiting justice that has yet to come.
