In the early evening of January 12, 2015, Ronzell M. Wright Sr., a 41-year-old man, was killed in a drive-by shooting at an apartment complex in Kansas City, Missouri. The incident occurred shortly before 9 p.m. in the 1500 block of Bushman Drive, near 63rd Street and The Paseo.
Wright and another man were in separate apartments when they were struck by gunfire. Witnesses reported seeing at least two individuals shooting at each other in the parking lot of the complex. Both victims were transported to local hospitals for their injuries, but Wright was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.
The investigation into the death of Ronzell Wright revealed that he was the intended target of the drive-by shooting. Despite the efforts of the Kansas City Police Department, no arrests have been made in the case, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains an open investigation, and authorities have urged anyone with information to contact the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline. The lack of resolution in the case has been a source of ongoing frustration for the community.
