A birthday party in the 400 block of Grover Street in Warrensburg, Missouri, on the night of August 1, 2020, ended in gunfire that left 18-year-old Maliyah Lakey dead. According to investigators, an argument at the large gathering escalated into a physical fight and then shots were fired shortly after midnight. Three people were struck; two survived with non-life-threatening wounds. Lakey was found in a nearby alley with a fatal gunshot wound to the back and died at the scene despite first responders’ efforts. Witnesses said someone tried to carry her down the alley after she was hit.

Evidence collected at the house included shell casings, a bloodied curtain, and a broken wine bottle. Two men were arrested: Christian J. Harrison, 28, and Evan R. Lanigan, 25. Harrison later pleaded guilty to amended charges and was sentenced to twenty years; the state dismissed charges against Lanigan in early 2021.

Does anyone have information about who else was at that party or saw what happened in the alley?
