Dick Laurence Zoomer Daniels, 33, was killed the evening of October 12, 2016, near a campsite in the woods by Butte Falls, Oregon. Daniels, a machinist who rode dirt bikes and fished, had been dropped off near the site and set up a concealed position overlooking the camp. He reportedly had a prior dispute with Mariah Silviera over a truck.

Around 8 p.m. Daniels emerged armed with a pistol and a flashlight and began firing at Shane Young as Young and Silviera returned to their truck. Young used the vehicle for cover while Silviera retrieved a rifle from the truck and handed it to him. From a concealed spot by the open passenger door, Young fired twice, striking Daniels. Investigators recovered a scoped rifle near where Daniels had been hiding.

The Jackson County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the case and concluded Young acted in self-defense, ruling the shooting justified; no arrests were made. Does anyone have information about Daniels, the prior dispute, or what led him to return to that campsite?
