Steve Mitchell Hale, 61, was one of three people killed in a shooting at the Emerald City Casino in Great Falls, Montana, in the early morning hours of December 17, 2019. Authorities quickly identified Ricky Lee Gardipee as the suspect; he was located later that day by U.S. Marshals and was killed during a confrontation with officers.

Though the primary suspect died at the scene of his capture, the investigation led to additional arrests. Amanda Lynn Gilbreath was charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly harboring Gardipee, and Johnny Komeotis faced charges of evidence tampering and resisting arrest. Investigators did not definitively establish a motive, but early indications suggested the shooting may have been related to a robbery.

If anyone knew Steve Hale, his movements that night, or has information about the events at the casino, please come forward.
