Kenneth Ray Moats, a 32-year-old Maryville Police Department officer and nine-year veteran assigned to the Fifth Judicial District Drug Task Force, was fatally shot on Thursday, August 25, 2016, while responding to a domestic violence call at a residence on Kerrway Lane. Officers had been dispatched earlier for a dispute; a later call reported someone at the home was armed. After helping one person from the house, Moats and a detective took cover behind their patrol vehicle when a man fired from a garage, striking Moats in the neck.

Responding officers returned fire and took the shooter, identified as Brian Keith Stalans, 44, into custody at the scene. Investigators found a letter in Stalans’ home blaming his family and county authorities, plus .45-caliber ammunition purchased the same day and a makeshift garage barricade, leading the sheriff to describe the attack as an ambush.

Did anyone in the Maryville area witness activity around Kerrway Lane that afternoon or have information about interactions between the parties involved?
