Devon Keith Massey, 22, was killed on the night of May 9, 2020, along County Road 195 near Dora, Missouri. Massey, known as Porkey, was riding in a gold 1995 Ford Explorer with two others when a physical altercation reportedly broke out inside the vehicle between him and Allen R. Shafer of West Plains. Investigators say Shafer told them a firearm fell onto his chest during the struggle and that he seized it and shot Massey in the chest.

Shafer called 911 at about 9:12 p.m. to report the shooting but could not give his precise location. Deputies from the Ozark County Sheriff’s Department searched the area and Massey’s relatives found his body around 3:00 a.m. on May 10. Shafer fled but was arrested that morning in West Plains; officers recovered the Explorer, which had been reported stolen from a relative, and a .380-caliber pistol. He was charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and tampering with a motor vehicle.

Court files show Shafer later entered an Alford plea and was sentenced on reduced charges. Does anyone have information about the night on County Road 195 or about Massey’s movements that evening?
