On the early morning of August 20, 2023, 36-year-old Justin E. Krogen of Pittsburg, Kansas, was found outside Jimmy B’s bar at 202 N. Locust St. with a fatal gunshot wound. Emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene around 1:15 AM. His body was sent to Kansas City for autopsy.

The Pittsburg Police Department, with help from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, described the shooting as an isolated incident that appeared to have stemmed from an argument. Investigators asked the public to identify several people who had been at the bar that night as potential witnesses, and the community provided information to aid the inquiry.

Authorities later named a person of interest and reported an arrest in December 2023. What additional information about the night of August 20 could help clarify what happened to Justin Krogen?
