On the night of March 1, 2017, 30-year-old Ryan C. Grandi was shot during a forced entry at his home in the east part of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Two local men, Nicholas R. Fairbank, then 20, and Steffon R. Swader, then 18, are accused of breaking into the residence and shooting Grandi during the burglary.

After the shooting the two men drove Grandi to a local hospital but fled immediately once emergency personnel took over. Authorities identified Fairbank and Swader as primary suspects and arrested them. Both were charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, tampering with physical evidence, and first-degree burglary; Fairbank also faced unlawful possession of a firearm. Each denied being the shooter and faced the possibility of life in prison if convicted.

Are there readers who knew Ryan, or who remember activity in that neighborhood around March 1, 2017?
