On April 12, 2019, 21-year-old Justin Lane of Grain Valley, Missouri, was shot once in the head during an altercation at a friend’s house in south Wichita, Kansas, at 815 S. Emporia. Lane had been at the residence with his best friend, 21-year-old Brandon Craig of Independence, Missouri, when a dispute escalated and became fatal.

Craig’s statements to investigators about how the gun fired varied. He at first denied possessing a firearm, then said it discharged accidentally while Lane was trying to take it from him, and later said Lane was not touching the gun when it went off. Investigators found aspects of the gun’s safety mechanisms that cast doubt on those accounts. Craig told police Lane had been intimate with the mother of his child, which was reported as a possible motive. Craig was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

Does anyone have information about Lane’s last hours or who else was at the house that night?
