On November 15, 2014, the bodies of 44-year-old Lewis Green and two others were found inside a room at the Economy Inn in Springfield, Missouri, after a 911 caller reported multiple unresponsive individuals. Officers arriving around 7:45 a.m. discovered Green, 43-year-old Trevor Fantroy, and 29-year-old Danielle Keyes deceased from gunshot wounds. A fourth victim, 24-year-old Christopher Freeman, was critically injured at the scene and later died at a local hospital. Green had been renting the motel room on a long-term basis.

Investigators say an acquaintance, Scott Goodwin-Bey, shot the victims because he believed they were cooperating with police about his drug activities. A witness who had been in the room reported narrowly escaping after seeing Goodwin-Bey pull out a gun. Evidence indicated the killings likely occurred hours before the bodies were discovered.

Charges were filed against Goodwin-Bey for four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of armed criminal action; legal proceedings were delayed for years after a 2016 ruling excluded the state’s ballistics evidence and prosecutors temporarily dismissed charges. If anyone knew Lewis Green or has information about the case, please share what you remember.
