Michael Jeffrey Noud, 27, was shot and killed in the gravel driveway of a residence in the 8400 block of South Russell Road near Oak Grove, Jackson County, Missouri, on the weekend of June 12, 2016. Witnesses at the scene said a dispute involving Michael and a former girlfriend escalated; they reported that 44-year-old Robert Lee Haynes emerged from the house with a gun and fired, and that Haynes shot Michael in the back of the head. Deputies found Michael gravely injured and a .22-caliber revolver with shell casings nearby. He was taken to Centerpoint Medical Center and died on Sunday, June 12. Medical examiners and witness statements contradicted Haynes’s claim that Michael had turned the weapon on himself after firing shots into the ground.

Prosecutors charged Robert Lee Haynes with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Michael is remembered by family and friends for his charm, flashy style, and devotion to his dog, and for the close relationships he kept despite personal struggles. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything the night of the shooting that could help clarify what happened?
