A confrontation in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, on Halloween night 2017 ended with the death of 21-year-old Arron Smith. The dispute began online after 20-year-old Travis Michael Leatherwood accused Smith of stealing marijuana. Smith arrived at Leatherwood’s home with two others; Leatherwood had armed himself with a .22-caliber rifle and two BB guns, the latter reportedly intended as scare tactics.

When Smith entered through the back door, Leatherwood fired the rifle and struck Smith in the shoulder. Smith was able to leave in the vehicle he arrived in and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his wound. Leatherwood’s mother called police at his request, and he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Investigators found marijuana being cultivated on Leatherwood’s property; he told police he shot Smith in fear for his life.

Was anyone in Kingfisher that night aware of the online dispute or the parties involved who could add detail about what led up to the shooting?
