Trevin Christopher Dicks, 21, was killed in Springfield, Missouri, in the early morning of February 22, 2024, during what investigators say was a planned ambush tied to a scheme to steal marijuana. The group arranged a meeting with a man posing as a buyer; Trevin and another associate, Reggie Carey, hid in the rear cargo area of an SUV driven by Trevin’s 19-year-old sister, Tarrin Dicks, both armed with a rifle and a handgun. When the intended target entered the vehicle and a struggle over the rifle broke out, the man drew a semiautomatic handgun and fired multiple rounds into the back of the SUV. Trevin and Carey later arrived at Cox South Hospital with critical gunshot wounds and died there.

Authorities have said the deaths occurred during the commission of a felony, and that the surviving participants were arrested and charged in connection with the plot. What details about the meeting or the planning have not yet been made public?
