Joshua Charles Smith, 31, was found with an apparent gunshot wound at about 6:14 p.m. on Saturday, December 29, 2018, after emergency responders answered a disturbance call on Viking Lane in Marshall, Missouri. He was taken to Fitzgibbon Hospital and later pronounced dead.

The next day authorities arrested 55-year-old James Scott Miller, identified as Smith’s stepfather. Miller was charged in Saline County with a Class A Felony for Second-Degree Murder and held at the Saline County Jail on a $500,000 cash-only bond.

Smith’s family expressed shock and anger over the case; his sister said the situation left many unanswered questions. Is there anyone who knew Joshua or who was in the Marshall area that night and can share information about what happened on Viking Lane?
