Shane Heiwa Roork, 35, was killed on November 4, 2020, after traveling with his father, 58-year-old Duane Allen Roork, to a hemp farm on East Evans Creek Road in Rogue River, Oregon, to retrieve personal property. The Roorks, who were from the Ukiah and Willits areas of California, were known to residents of the property. A heated argument over money between Duane Roork and a resident, identified as Joshua Robert Miller, escalated; witnesses said Miller became agitated by the Roorks’ arrival and a second vehicle’s presence. During the dispute Miller opened fire, shooting both Shane and his father, and also fired on the fleeing second vehicle. The bodies of Shane and Duane Roork were found the next day about half a mile from the scene on nearby Bureau of Land Management land.

A multiagency manhunt led to the arrest of Joshua Robert Miller at a nearby residence on November 6, 2020. Miller was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree abuse of a corpse, and one count of attempted second-degree murder; he told investigators he believed he was acting in self-defense, while witnesses said they did not think the victims posed a threat. Does anyone have information about the Roorks, their visit to that property, or the events leading up to the November 4 confrontation?
