Robert C. Hewitt, 49, was found shot to death inside a vehicle in Springfield, Missouri, on April 1, 2018. His fatal gunshot wound prompted a homicide investigation that quickly linked his killing to another recent slaying in the area.

Five days earlier, on March 27, Lance Loveless had been found shot to death in his car. Investigators came to suspect a single offender in both shootings and identified Willie Haughton as the primary suspect, describing him as armed and dangerous. Haughton was captured on April 5, 2018. Prosecutors later accused the same weapon taken from Loveless of being used to kill Hewitt after an alleged dispute over disrespect to a friend.

Did anyone in Springfield know Robert Hewitt or see either vehicle around March 27–April 1, 2018?
