Roy Clay ’RC’ Burkett, 48, was shot to death in Grandfield, Oklahoma, in September 2022. A longtime farmhand and family man in that rural community, Burkett’s life ended after a weekend encounter that turned violent.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation led the probe and identified a suspect, Kristopher Vermeulen of Hollister. Vermeulen was located, taken into custody, and charged with second-degree murder after investigators said a dispute between the two men escalated and resulted in the fatal shooting.

What does anyone in the area remember about Burkett, his work, or that weekend in September 2022 that could shed more light on what happened?
