On December 30, 2021, 18-month-old Parker Douglas Sizemore was fatally shot in the head during a shooting inside a duplex on West Dodson Street in Kirksville, Missouri. Parker died at the scene; another victim, 22-year-old Braxton Cottrill, was also killed. The attack wounded others: 18-year-old Alissa Anders was critically shot, later underwent an emergency C-section to deliver her baby and died of her injuries on January 25, 2022, and 21-year-old Randall Yarrington survived after being shot in the chest.

Kirksville Police and the Adair County Sheriff’s Office described the shooting as not random and identified suspects known to the victims. Authorities arrested 53-year-old Ray Rijos on January 2, 2022, in Kirksville and, after he fled the area, took 22-year-old Anquan AJ Glover into custody on January 10, 2022, in the Belton, Missouri area.

Anyone who was at the duplex that night or who knew Parker and the other victims is asked to share information that could help clarify what happened.
