Darrin Wade Charlie Lancaster, 43, was found dead from a gunshot wound on July 26, 2015, in the driveway of long-time friend Thomas G. Masterson in LaRose, Illinois. Lancaster was a machinist at Caterpillar Inc., a Mid-County High School graduate, and active in motorcycle benefits, mushroom hunting, fishing and golfing. He was born August 12, 1971, in Streator, Illinois, to John and Judy Schumacher Lancaster.

The shooting was reported at about 4:41 a.m.; Lancaster and Masterson had spent much of the previous day together. Masterson, 72, was arrested after a standoff and charged with first- and second-degree murder; he had a prior gun-related charge from 2013 and was held on $1 million bond. The Illinois State Police and the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department investigated and search warrants were obtained.

Many from the community, including co-workers and fellow motorcyclists, attended Lancaster’s funeral. Does anyone have information about Lancaster’s last day or the events that led to the early-morning shooting?
