Our card this week is James Walker III, the King of Clubs from Kansas.

When James was shot to death at a house party in 2017, local police kicked off an investigation

to find the people responsible.

But they were soon met with obstacles left and right, from lack of physical evidence

to witnesses refusing to cooperate.

Today, both investigators and James' family believe the case could be solved if just one

person who knows the truth is brave enough to come forward.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck.

The suburban neighborhood of Lindwood, in which it took Kansas, was usually quiet on Sunday

evenings.

An April 9, 2017, was no different.

With the weekend winding down, most residents could count on a peaceful evening before the

work week started back up the next day, which is why a loud bang caught the attention of

an elderly woman named Georgian.

It was a little after 9pm, so when she heard the bang she paused, and then she heard it

again, and again.

And finally, as the sound continued a couple more times, the realization of what she was hearing

hit her, it was gunfire.

She couldn't tell exactly where the gunshots were coming from, but she could tell that

they were close, especially when she began to hear people screaming in the distance, so

she grabbed her phone and dialed 911.

But Georgian wasn't the only one.
