On the evening of May 19, 2017, in a Springfield mobile home park, 36-year-old Steven Ray Burton was shot and killed during a dispute. Burton, described as a father and friend in the community, had earlier that day argued with another man, identified as 46-year-old Timothy Michael Green. Later that evening Green returned to the residence, an argument broke out, and Green produced a handgun and shot Burton once. Burton was pronounced dead at the scene and witnesses provided a description of the man who fled.

Springfield police located and took Timothy Michael Green into custody shortly after the shooting. He was arrested and charged with Burton’s murder; the case proceeded to trial, and Green was found guilty and given a lengthy prison sentence. If anyone at the mobile home park that night remembers details about the dispute or what led up to the shooting, please share what was seen or heard.
