UPDATED: We've got a name for the suspect: Kenneth D. Smith, 34.
Clay County authorities believe he's the person who killed Tony E. Barnett Jr. of Liberty on Wednesday morning while Barnett was working at a convenience store in Randolph. Glenn Rice has a report on the case here. Anyone with information is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS (474-8477). All calls are confidential.
We don't know much about Barnett. Only that he's 27 and had worked at the store about a year. Will be looking for more info about who he was.
UPDATE: Doesn't look like this case is connected to the slaying of a convenience-store clerk in Pacific, Mo.
