In the early morning hours of June 3, 2014, the body of 55-year-old Freddie Releford was discovered in an alley in the 4100 block of Brooklyn Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Police had been called to the area around 12:45 a.m. after reports of shots being fired. Releford, a male, had been fatally shot.
The death of Freddie Releford was one of five homicides to occur in Kansas City during the month of June 2014. Despite the efforts of the Kansas City Police Department's homicide unit, the case has remained a significant challenge for law enforcement. Investigators have been met with a lack of substantial evidence and few witnesses coming forward with information.
As of today, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Freddie Releford, and the case remains unsolved. Authorities have, in the years since his death, continued to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to the identification and apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible. The investigation into who killed Freddie Releford is ongoing.
