Man searches for answers in daughter's murder: 'A part of me is gone'
Apr 12, 2025
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Eight years after his daughter was killed on the side of I-29, Kevin Brown is still wondering who killed his daughter.
“It was hard; a parent never expects their child to go before them,” he said.
Christina Cunningham, who her family called Chrissy, was a bright studen
t and ROTC member with dreams of being a lawyer.
“She was still a human being and had two parents who loved her,” Brown said.

Chrissy Cunningham was headed back to her parent's house when she was shot and left for dead. Brown says the shooter hit her 5 times.
While time has healed some wounds for Brown, some still hurt.
“I’ll go on, and I will survive, but a part of me is gone,” he said.
Chrissy’s mother, Serese, passed away in 2022. Kevin thinks Chrissy’s death accelerated her heath complications.
“And with her mother gone, another part is gone," he continued.
Brown says that he’s been trying to get updates from police, but they aren’t providing a lot of answers.
“Even if her case (is) not solved before I leave this earth, all I ask is when I call, can you at least update me?” he pleaded.
“That’s all I'm asking is just when I call, to respond back.”
He says that someone knows who killed her and it’s time for them to come forward.
“Do you think that they should be able to be free to walk the streets?” he asked.
“If you know who did this, you’re complicit. Anyone that will allow a murder to live with them is complicit.”

He says he doesn’t want revenge; he wants closure.
“I don’t have any fear, I don't hold any animosity, I just want justice.”
