Benjamin Scott Jester, 30, was shot and killed in north Springfield, Missouri, on Sunday, December 7, 2014. According to reports, the fatal encounter began after Jester visited a residence and was seen with the resident’s girlfriend. Jason Kumnick returned home, confronted Jester, and chased him about a quarter of a mile. Jester tried to escape on a bicycle but was pursued to a driveway on North Main Avenue, where he was shot and later died.

Investigators collected blood evidence at the scene that was later matched to Kumnick’s DNA; Kumnick initially denied involvement. His defense argued he acted in self-defense, claiming an attack with a wrench, while prosecutors emphasized the pursuit before the shooting. In September 2018 a jury convicted Kumnick of second-degree murder, armed criminal action and being a felon in possession of a firearm; in November 2018 he received an effective 60-year sentence.

Did anyone in Springfield see Jester on December 7, 2014, or have information about his visit that day?
