On the morning of June 5, 1988, Shirley Joann Stilwell Morey, 40, was shot and killed while sitting in a car with her husband, Eugene LeRoy Morey, 41, as they folded newspapers for their delivery route near a Circle K in Nampa, Idaho. The couple were attacked after a man involved in an earlier dispute at the store, David Leslie Card, went home for a revolver, returned, and opened fire on the parked vehicle without provocation, killing both Shirley and Eugene.

Card was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. At trial it emerged he had a history of paranoid schizophrenia; he was medicated and found competent to stand trial under Idaho law then in effect, convicted in September 1989, and sentenced to death. Over the following decades his mental health deteriorated and he often refused medication. In 2019 Idaho officials commuted his death sentence to life without parole, and he was moved after about 30 years in solitary confinement.

What pieces of this case stand out to readers who remember Nampa in 1988 or knew the Morey family?
