On the afternoon of October 6, 2016, responders in Moberly, Missouri, extinguished a small residential fire and found the body of Kevin Glenn McCuiston, 39, inside the home. Forensic examiners determined McCuiston died from a gunshot wound; the fire was not the cause of death and the case was classified as a homicide.

Investigators say the killing grew out of a plotted robbery. Court records and police interviews indicate plans were made to obtain a firearm and enlist others to help. Authorities allege at least three people were present or nearby during the events; some reportedly fled before the shooting. Two arrests followed: Joseph Lee Kertz, 28, of Moberly, charged with first-degree murder and second-degree arson, and Ethan Longbine, 20, charged with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and armed criminal action. Longbine reportedly told investigators he and a woman left before the shooting.

McCuiston, born in Passaic, New Jersey, worked as a glazier in Central Missouri and is survived by his wife, a son, a daughter, and his parents and siblings. Does anyone have information about McCuiston’s movements in Moberly or the people he was with in early October 2016?
