A neighbor dispute in Carthage, Missouri, ended in fatal violence on the evening of May 16, 2016. Thirty-eight-year-old Jeremy Neeper was shot during an argument with his next-door neighbor on the east side of Carthage and did not survive.

The shooter was identified as 62-year-old Ricky Marchbanks, who was taken into custody after the incident and said he had acted in self-defense. Marchbanks was charged with first-degree murder; the case went to trial in January 2020. A jury rejected the self-defense claim, found Marchbanks guilty of first-degree murder, and he received a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Are there details about the events that night or the relationship between the neighbors that could help clarify what happened?
