Richard Joshua John Barney, 28, was fatally shot on June 28, 2019, in McMinnville, Oregon. Officers found him about 5:30 p.m. near Northeast Grandhaven Street and Doran Drive with a gunshot wound to the abdomen; he died before he could be airlifted to a hospital.

Investigators say Barney and 33-year-old Dustin Allen Brown were acquainted. Surveillance footage from a nearby residence captured the moments leading up to the shooting: a sound consistent with a gunshot, a man emerging from a wooded area, and Barney following that man as the man turned and fired additional shots. Brown fled on a bicycle armed with a 9mm handgun and was arrested in the early hours of June 29, 2019, on a temporary felony warrant for homicide and later booked into the Yamhill County Jail. He was charged with murder in connection with Barney’s death.

Barney was born February 22, 1991, in Klamath Falls and was an enrolled member of The Klamath Tribes; he grew up in several Oregon communities and graduated from Chemawa Indian High School. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information that could help, please come forward to assist the investigation.
