A daytime dispute in downtown Roseburg, Oregon, on March 17, 2019, escalated onto Interstate 5 and ended with the fatal shooting of 53-year-old Edward Lanier. Witnesses described a chaotic scene; Lanier was found in his vehicle near the Harvard Avenue exit suffering gunshot wounds. First responders performed CPR and he was pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital.

The Oregon State Police led the investigation and asked the public for information about the shooting and about other people involved in the initial dispute. The circumstances that turned a downtown argument into a deadly roadside encounter remain unresolved.

If anyone has information about the dispute that moved onto I-5 or saw activity near the Harvard Avenue exit that day, please share what you know.
