Ashton L Oguinn was 20 when he was shot dead on the evening of April 23, 2012, in Kansas City, Missouri. Officers were called to 3320 South Benton about 10:35 p.m. and found him lying on the sidewalk with fatal gunshot wounds. He was a student at Penn Valley Community College.

No suspect was identified in the initial investigation and no arrests were made; the case is now classified as a cold case. Ashton’s mother, Dewanna O'Guinn, has since joined the Kansas City chapter of Mothers in Charge and become an advocate against violence while supporting other families who have lost children to homicide.

Anyone with information about the shooting on April 23, 2012, is asked to contact the Kansas City Police Department homicide squad.
