Antoine McKenzie left a message written in his own blood for Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda

This week Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda recounts the daytime shooting of Antoine McKenzie and his subsequent investigation of the case.

MCKenzie was gunned down during the day outside an auto parts store and yet despite this very public shooting there are no witnesses who can ID the person who killed him.

Lt. Kenda’s 20 years with Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit saw him come across some strange cases but seldom did the victim write a clue in their own blood.

However, remarkably MCKenzie did indeed write a last message in his own blood and this is the evidence that Lt. Kenda uses to kick start his investigation.

They also soon realise it was not a robbery as the victim only had a few dollars and was still clutching the car part he had just bought. The part is for a classic car and in the parking lot they find a Dodge Charger in perfect original condition.

However, the mystery deepens when the car comes back registered to a man far older than the victim…

Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda airs on Wednesdays at 9:00 PM on Investigation Discovery.
