Neighbors in Springfield, Missouri, heard gunshots at a home on North Robberson Avenue on September 1, 2020. Shortly after, a man was seen running from the house and leaving in a U-Haul truck that had been parked outside. Responding officers found 39-year-old Shad Lee Allen Brown dead at the scene; investigators quickly treated the case as a homicide.

Surveillance footage recovered by detectives showed Brown earlier that day helping the same man load items into the U-Haul. Within two days, 24-year-old Nicholas J. Barnes of Lebanon was arrested at a Springfield law office. Police described the motive as a personal conflict tied to Barnes’s anger over Brown’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Barnes was charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action and held without bond.

Does anyone who lived near North Robberson Avenue in late summer 2020 remember seeing the U-Haul or anything unusual that day?
