Arnie Lee Eggsman, 32, was fatally shot after an altercation at a party in Chiloquin, Oregon, on September 17, 2017. The dispute involved Eggsman and two men identified as 21-year-old Tevin Lafond and 21-year-old Kyle Steele; the confrontation escalated and ended with Eggsman’s death.

Both Lafond and Steele left the scene and were tracked to Northern Nevada. Law enforcement agencies from multiple jurisdictions — including the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Washoe Tribal Police, Oregon State Police, and Reno and Washoe County officers — coordinated to locate them. A witness in Oregon helped authorities find the suspects.

On the Monday after the shooting, officers arrested Tevin Lafond in Lyon County at about 6 p.m. Kyle Steele was not initially at his home on tribal land in the Carson City Colony; after negotiations with his family he turned himself in to the Sheriff’s Office at 11 p.m. The Klamath County District Attorney credited community and witness cooperation for the quick progress in the investigation.

If anyone at the Chiloquin party or who knew the people involved has information that could help clarify what happened that night, please come forward.
