On a Friday night in Kansas City, Missouri, the life of 39-year-old Lloyd Vincent III was tragically cut short. On April 8, 2016, at approximately 9:30 p.m., gunfire erupted at an apartment complex located in the 6400 block of Manchester Avenue. Vincent was struck by the bullets in a violent encounter that also left another individual wounded.
Following the shooting, a private vehicle rushed Vincent to a nearby hospital in a desperate attempt to save his life.
Despite the efforts, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. The second person wounded in the incident survived, though details about their condition were not widely publicized. The Kansas City Police Department promptly began an investigation into the homicide, appealing to the public for any information that could lead to the apprehension of those responsible. A TIPS Hotline was established for witnesses or anyone with knowledge of the crime to come forward.
In the days that followed, family and friends mourned the loss of Lloyd Vincent III. His funeral service was held at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church, and he was laid to rest at Sunset Gardens Cemetery. However, as time passed, the investigation into his murder grew cold. Despite the initial police appeals for information, no suspects were publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced in connection with his death. The case of who killed Lloyd Vincent III remains an unresolved chapter in the city's history of violent crime, leaving a family without answers and a community searching for justice.
