Christopher Allen Lane, 34, was killed after two armed men forced their way into his Clarksville, Tennessee home on the night of November 7, 2017. The intruders entered through a back door on Hundred Oaks Drive; during the invasion Lane was shot in the torso, rushed to a hospital in critical condition, and died several hours later on November 8, 2017. His father Lonnie was shot at multiple times, and two other people in the house were held against their will and threatened with a deadly weapon while items were taken from the residence.

A Montgomery County grand jury indicted Matthew Kenneth Bryan and Timothy Labrone Williams II in April 2021 on charges including first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, and criminal attempt. Bryan was already jailed on unrelated charges at that time; Williams was arrested in Spring, Texas and extradited to Clarksville. A third person, Warren Broomer, was later identified as a co-defendant. Prosecutors say the invasion grew out of a planned robbery tied to a drug deal; the trial of Williams began but ended in a second mistrial in August 2025.

Does anyone have information about the November 2017 invasion or about the people who were in that home that night?
