Allen Chance Brewer, 26, of Eminence, was shot and killed on E Highway in Shannon County, Missouri, on the evening of August 8, 2020. A passerby found Brewer lying on the road with multiple gunshot wounds; another person tried to render aid before emergency crews arrived and Brewer was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witness reports and a shell casing match led investigators to a Toyota pickup registered to Daymond C. Reeves, 21, of Mountain View. Reeves and his wife were arrested two days after the shooting. Reeves pulled over, an argument followed, and Reeves fired a 9mm pistol, discharging at least 15 rounds and striking Brewer seven times in the face, neck, chest, and back. Reeves and his wife then fled the scene.

Reeves was tried on first-degree murder and armed criminal action and claimed self-defense. Under cross-examination he acknowledged he did not need to shoot Brewer and said his intent was to kill. A Reynolds County jury found Reeves guilty on December 2, 2022; he was later sentenced to life without parole for the murder and received an additional 15 years for armed criminal action. Did anyone in the area witness the trucks or the altercation that night who hasn’t already come forward?
