Zachary James Zumwalt, 28, was shot and killed on November 21, 2017, while sitting in his car in the McDonald’s parking lot on West Kearney Street in Springfield, Missouri. He had been using the restaurant’s wireless internet when a stray bullet struck him; police found him after a midnight 911 call and he later died at a nearby hospital. Reports say he was not the intended target and was described by family as a loving stepfather, a caring son, and a protective brother.

Authorities say Richard Gaines fired indiscriminately toward the restaurant; he was later arrested and initially charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors and defense reached a plea that reduced the charges to unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action, and Gaines received a 30-year prison sentence after addressing Zumwalt’s family in court. Zumwalt’s mother also filed a civil suit against McDonald’s alleging inadequate security.

If anyone was in that McDonald’s parking lot that night or has information about what led up to the shooting, please share what is known.
