On March 28, 2019, neighbors in the small community of Grapevine, Arkansas, were rocked by a violent episode that left 45-year-old Patrick Massey dead. Grant County deputies responding to an armed disturbance encountered a chaotic scene: one man was found in a ditch with a gunshot wound to the leg, deputies came under gunfire, and the suspected gunman engaged in a shootout with officers before fleeing into nearby woods and later being taken into custody.

When the scene was secured, authorities discovered Massey’s body inside a residence. Friends and family said Massey, a truck driver and father of two who lived down the street from the suspect, had gone to check on the man out of concern. The autopsy described severe trauma: Massey had been shot nine times, stabbed, and his body had been set on fire; four of his fingers had been severed with a brush ax. Another neighbor reported being attacked that day but survived.

The suspect was arrested and charged in connection with the shootings and the killing of Massey. Does anyone have additional information about Patrick Massey, his daily life in Grapevine, or what was heard in the neighborhood that day?
