Carl Marty Dane Martin III, 49, was found fatally shot at his home in Crane, Missouri on July 9, 2016. A Stone County Sheriff’s Office response followed reports of gun violence; deputies pronounced Martin dead at the scene and classified the death as a homicide.

Martin worked in maintenance at Cox Hospital in Springfield and was remembered by family and friends as an outdoorsman who enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting and swimming with his children. He was survived by his son Richard and daughter Becky and had been married to Paula Kelly.

A woman was taken into custody at the scene but was released shortly afterward without charges; prosecutors did not immediately file charges as the investigation remained open. What details about the shooting and motive have not been released to the public—did anyone in Crane see or hear anything that night?
