A party at the Blytheville home of Oscar Lee Lane, Sr. ended in a triple homicide on the evening of June 27, 2020. Oscar Lane, Sr., 54, was shot and killed at the gathering; two other people, 54-year-old Joyce Adams and 29-year-old Virginia Bailey, were also killed. A fourth person, Darnell Wilson, was shot and survived.

Police investigators identified 36-year-old Marlon Tucker of St. Louis as the suspect. He was arrested near St. Louis the day after the shootings in a stolen vehicle and found with several firearms; warrants charged him with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of battery. Tucker was later convicted in March 2022 on three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and one count of first-degree battery and received three life terms plus 65 years. The motive for the killings was not offered by Tucker and remains unclear.

Did anyone who attended that gathering or who knew Oscar Lane, Sr. see anything that could explain what happened that night?
