Eugene Buzz William Walton II, a 48-year-old sports medicine physician, died of a gunshot wound on October 21, 2018, in Helena, Montana. He had just returned from a hunting trip with another man and was found in the parking lot of the former Kmart building. He was taken to St. Peters Health but succumbed to his injuries.

Initial statements from police described the shooting as an apparent hunting accident, saying the rifle discharged as Walton’s hunting partner attempted to retrieve it from the back of a truck. The investigation later led to felony charges against 62-year-old Greg Robert Trude: one count of negligent homicide and one count of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. Trude was ordered to appear in court in December 2018 to face those charges.

Were there witnesses in the Kmart parking lot or anyone who remembers the hunting trip who can shed light on what happened that day?
