In April 2004, 23-year-old Alonzo Brooks made a decision that he could have never anticipated would result in his murder. He just wanted to go to a party with some of his friends. But when he didn’t return home the next morning, the rumors were already swirling about what may have happened to Alonzo in the small town of La Cygne, Kansas, that night.

Over 20 years later, Alonzo’s case has been riddled with misinformation, conflicting stories about what happened that night, and missteps by law enforcement, causing many to question what’s really going on in Linn County, Kansas.

Alonzo Brooks was 23 years old when he was killed on the night of April 3, 2004, or early hours of April 4th in La Cygne, Kansas. Alonzo was black and Hispanic with black hair and brown eyes. He was 5’8” and weighed approximately 180 lbs. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI Kansas City office at 816-512-8200, the Tips Hotline at 816-474-TIPS, or submit a tip online at Tips.FBI.Gov.
