Nelton Dean Lemons, 36, was one of three people killed in a February 23, 2017, triple homicide in Newton, Kansas. Officers found Nelton, his brother Michael John Lemons, and Jason Stubby inside a residence, each dead of single gunshot wounds. Investigators identified David Montano as the lone suspect; witnesses said he arrived intent on killing and made a statement that Mother Earth is thirsty, she needs blood.

Montano was later found nearby armed with a sawed-off shotgun and a large knife. When he swung the shotgun toward officers, a Newton police corporal fired multiple shots, fatally wounding him. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation reviewed the shooting and the Harvey County Attorney concluded the officer’s use of lethal force was justified, so no charges were filed and no arrests were made in the three homicides.

Does anyone have information about the morning of February 23, 2017, or about any of the victims that could help clarify what led to this attack?
