On November 15, 2014, a mass shooting at the Economy Inn, 2555 North Glenstone Avenue in Springfield, Missouri, left four people shot in room 149. Three victims were found dead at the scene: 43-year-old Trevor L. Fantroy, 44-year-old Lewis Green, and 29-year-old Danielle Keyes. A fourth, 24-year-old Christopher Freeman, was transported to a hospital in critical condition and died days later. All four had suffered gunshot wounds to the head.

Investigators identified local man Scott Goodwin-Bey as the prime suspect, alleging his motive stemmed from a paranoid belief that the victims had informed police about his drug activity. A witness in the room told investigators they escaped by fleeing when the shooting began. Charges were filed against Goodwin-Bey in February 2015, but legal challenges over ballistics evidence led to those charges being dropped in December 2016; prosecutors later refiled charges in 2018.
