On October 25, 2016, 38-year-old Billy Dale Bishop II was fatally shot on Boiling Springs Road, an area southwest of Licking in Texas County, Missouri. Another man, 55-year-old William T. Dumboski, was also shot and flown to a hospital with critical injuries; Bishop died at the scene.

Authorities identified 39-year-old Daniel Glen Campbell as the suspect. Witnesses said Campbell emerged from darkness holding firearms in both hands, made unusual remarks, then opened fire. Campbell reportedly fled in a 1997 Ford Ranger belonging to Bishop; the vehicle was later found near Paddy Creek Road by a Missouri State Highway Patrol helicopter. A large ground search ended when Campbell was located hiding inside Faith and Hope Church off Highway 32 and taken into custody without incident around 5:00 p.m.

While awaiting trial, Campbell escaped the Texas County Jail on the evening of November 14, 2016, reportedly running through an open door in an orange and white jail uniform without shoes; he was captured the following day and returned to custody. Does anyone have information about Bishop’s life in the area or the night of the shooting?
