On the morning of August 21, 2016, 37-year-old Francisco Mendez was found bleeding and unresponsive on Miss Clara Drive in Kennett, Missouri, after reports of gunfire around 1 a.m. Officers arrived to a large crowd; Mendez received medical attention but died of his injuries at a local hospital.

The investigation identified 29-year-old Josue Rivera as the primary suspect. Rivera was located later that day in Memphis, Tennessee, and taken into custody by the Memphis Police Department without incident. A warrant was issued charging him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; he was held without bond.

The motive for the shooting was not released. Does anyone have information about Francisco’s activities that night or about witnesses who were at Miss Clara Drive?
