In the pre-dawn hours of April 10, 2021, a shooting at the Snappy Mart convenience store on U.S. 63 in Koshkonong, southern Missouri, left Carlos Moreno dead and three others critically wounded. Moreno, a male truck driver from California, was shot through a glass window while standing near the store restrooms and was found leaning against a wall, pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say 28-year-old Christopher L. Lindley of Thayer entered the store and shot Moreno, then shot three other people: Paul Chavis, who was found outside by his vehicle, and Melissa Rae Blaskiewicz and Jonah Bivins, who were located inside with gunshot wounds to the head and face. Jonah Bivins, though unable to speak, wrote down the full name of his attacker; an employee also identified the shooter as Chris. A tip about Lindley’s vehicle led to his arrest later that morning in neighboring Howell County.

Lindley was charged with first-degree murder in Moreno’s death, plus five counts of first-degree assault and six counts of armed criminal action, and was held without bail. A motive has not been publicly established. If anyone knew Carlos Moreno or has information about that morning, please share what you know.
