Ryan Matthew Holcomb, 45, of Chanute, Kansas, was found dead from gunshot wounds inside a vehicle at an automotive glass shop in Chanute on December 3, 2022. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say a 43-year-old man, Casey M. Dye of Petrolia, Kansas, walked into the Allen County Sheriff’s Department that day and gave a statement. Deputies then located Holcomb’s body at the shop. Investigators from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Allen County Sheriff’s Office, and the Neosho County Sheriff’s Office report they believe the killing occurred earlier that morning at a rural property in Allen County and that the body was later moved to the Chanute business.

After his statement, Dye was arrested and booked into the Allen County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder, with further charges expected. If anyone has information about Holcomb, his movements that morning, or the rural property mentioned, please share what is known.
