On the night of February 27, 2011, 31-year-old Todd Neal Lampley was in a bedroom at a Fresh Holes Road residence in Hyannis when gunfire rang out. Barnstable Police responded about 10:00 PM and found Lampley unconscious and bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A preliminary investigation suggested the shots were fired from outside the home, but the case went cold for years with no public identification of a suspect.

Twelve years later, in February 2023, prosecutors charged 40-year-old Devarus Hampton of Mashpee with Lampley’s murder after testing linked Hampton’s DNA to a sweet potato recovered at the scene that is believed to have been used as a makeshift silencer. Prosecutors also said GPS monitoring data placed Hampton at the Fresh Holes Road residence at the time of the shooting. Shortly after, 31-year-old Curtis L. Collins Jr. of West Yarmouth was also charged in connection with the killing.

Anyone with information about Todd Lampley or the events that night is asked to come forward.
