FBI Kansas City

The #FBI is committed to solving cold cases and finding justice for the victims and their families. In an effort to generate new leads in these cases, we worked together with our law enforcement partners to distribute Missouri Cold Case playing cards in state prisons. The cards feature a photo and details about an unsolved homicide, missing person, or unidentified remains case. Each week, we will feature one of these unsolved cases.

On March 26, 2017, three individuals were shot in the area of Interstate 70 Drive Northwest and Garden Drive in Columbia, Missouri. One victim survived, but Michael Walker Jr. and his half-brother, Jeffery Jones, were killed.

If you have any information about this case, call 1-844-458-6622 or email missouricoldcase@fbi.gov.

Last week, SAC Chris Ormerod participated in the kickoff meeting for the Western District of Missouri Show-Me Fraud Task Force, which brings together state and federal agencies to strengthen coordination and enhance efforts to identify, investigate, and prosecute fraud affecting Missouri. We are proud to work together with our partners to combat fraud and protect the communities we serve.
