On the morning of March 4, 2018, Jefferson City police responded to a medical emergency at a residence on Clark Avenue and found 41-year-old Ronald Rattler dead from at least one gunshot wound. What began as a call for help quickly became a homicide investigation, and the Jefferson City Police Department took over the case.

Detectives interviewed people who might have information and issued public appeals, but no arrests were announced and authorities did not release details about suspects or a possible motive while working to reconstruct the events of that day. The investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Ronald, his movements that morning, or has information that could help, please contact the Jefferson City Police Department.
