William Meyer, 26, was shot and killed on April 9, 2017, at a residence on West Sate Highway VV in Rogersville, Missouri. He was pronounced dead at the scene after a single gunshot. The Webster County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident.

Authorities identified 57-year-old Larry A. Shaw as the person who shot Meyer. Reports say an altercation occurred after Meyer’s relationship with Shaw’s adult daughter; during the dispute Shaw retrieved a firearm and shot Meyer. Shaw was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action.

The case later advanced through court proceedings, and Shaw pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. In May 2018 Shaw was sentenced to seven years in prison for Meyers death.
