A late-night argument over music at a Joplin hookah lounge ended in deadly gunfire on June 7, 2020. A dispute about an iPad being used for music led to a physical fight involving 20-year-old Raymond Badios. After the fight, Badios retrieved a firearm, appeared to leave, then turned back and opened fire.

36-year-old Toua Y. Lee, who was not part of the initial argument, was struck by the first shot and died at the scene. 30-year-old Chong K. Xiong was shot multiple times and also died; another person was wounded. Other patrons restrained Badios until police arrived and took him into custody.

Badios was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of assault, and three counts of armed criminal action. If anyone knew Toua Lee or was at the lounge that night, any information could help clarify what happened.
