In the early morning hours of June 7, 2017, Chad Michaels Cain, a 28-year-old man from Kansas City, Missouri, was killed in a triple homicide. Known to his family as 'Little Mike,' Cain was found shot to death inside a car on the 7100 block of Monroe Avenue. He was not alone; two other men, Cortez Hanley, 28, and Kevin Murrell, 34, were also discovered deceased in the vehicle, all victims of gunfire.
Cain, born on February 8, 1989, was a father to four children.
Those who knew him remembered his sense of humor and his dedication to his family, especially the close bond he shared with his grandmother. He was educated in the Kansas City Missouri Public Schools and was known for his entertaining personality and love for telling jokes. At the time of his death, Cain was on probation for drug and gun charges and was reportedly working towards obtaining his high school equivalency diploma. He had been released from custody just six months prior to the shooting.
The investigation into the triple homicide has been ongoing, but to date, no arrests have been made, and police have not publicly identified any suspects. Authorities have urged anyone with information about the shooting to come forward to help bring a resolution to the case for the families of the victims. The community was left shaken by the violence, with neighbors expressing their fear and shock at the incident. A funeral service for Chad Cain was held on June 16, 2017, where family and friends gathered to mourn his passing.
