Lane Scott was 28 when he was shot and killed on October 3, 2018, after a dispute with a neighbor in Ada, Oklahoma. The argument reportedly began over Scott’s girlfriend’s pit bull running loose. The confrontation took place on County Road 3536, where Scott approached the neighbor, K.C. Cole, who was seated in his truck; witnesses say Scott punched Cole and that multiple gunshots followed.

Cole is said to have fired about six shots. Scott was taken to a hospital but died of his wounds. Scott was remembered as a free-spirited man who rode bulls and worked as a farrier; he graduated from Byng High School and had represented the United States in rodeo competition in Brazil twice. Cole was taken into custody by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, booked into the Pontotoc County Jail, and charged with first-degree manslaughter and shooting with intent to kill; he reportedly remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

If anyone knew Lane, his routines, or saw what happened on County Road 3536 that day, please share information.
