James Ray Newsom, 48, was found dead in his Portland, Missouri, home on July 10, 2019, from a gunshot wound. Deputies from the Callaway County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call and the death was treated as a homicide.

Investigators quickly focused on a single suspect. Chadwick D. Moore, then 41 and from Fulton, was located and brought in for questioning. During the interview Moore admitted to shooting Newsom; he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and held in the Callaway County Jail without bond. Court filings say the killing grew out of a dispute over a woman between two men who had been friends.

If anyone in the Portland area knew Newsom or observed interactions between him and Moore before July 10, 2019, please share what you remember.
