Chris Dotson, a 22-year-old student at UMKC, was found dead in his Shawnee apartment on Wednesday. The murder police are on the case.
Dotson's body was found by his mother, La Trice Dotson. Last night, she led what she called a celebration of her son's life in the parking lot of his apartment building at 67th and Lackman. The service ended with the launch of 22 white balloons.
Facebook indicates that Dotson is a 2006 graduate of Schlagle High School in Kansas City, Kansas. La Trice Dotson told KMBC that her son worked two jobs, including one with her in the records department at Children's Mercy Hospital. "He was working to become a better person in life, and he had a lot of goals," she told the station.
Dotson was last seen at his other job, at a T-Mobile store, on Sunday night.
