On a summer evening in Kansas City, Missouri, the life of 27-year-old Steven W. Parsons was tragically cut short. On July 28, 2019, Parsons, a male, was fatally shot in a violent encounter that also claimed the life of 31-year-old Montae Robinson. The incident unfolded around 9:30 p.m. in the vicinity of 21st Street and Monroe Avenue, where the sound of gunfire prompted a swift response from nearby police officers.
Upon their arrival, authorities discovered a grim scene.
Parsons and Robinson were found with gunshot wounds in different locations within the immediate area. One of the men was located in an alley, while the other was found at a nearby intersection. Despite the immediate medical attention provided by the officers and the subsequent arrival of paramedics, both men succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
In the initial stages of the investigation, law enforcement officials disclosed very little information about the circumstances that led to the deadly shooting. No details regarding a potential motive or any persons of interest were released to the public. Homicide detectives cordoned off a wide area to conduct a thorough search for evidence and canvassed the neighborhood in an effort to locate any witnesses who might have seen or heard something that could shed light on the events of that night.
Despite the efforts of the Kansas City Police Department, the case of the double homicide of Steven W. Parsons and Montae Robinson has remained unsolved. In the years that have passed since their deaths, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made in connection with the shootings, nor has any information been released that would identify a suspect or suspects. The investigation into the deaths of the two men is presumably still open, leaving a painful void for their families and a community still seeking answers and justice.
