On December 7, 2014, William Kelley, 42, was shot and killed at a barn on his property in Sperry, Oklahoma. Kelley and his son had gone to the barn shortly after 2 a.m. to retrieve equipment to free a vehicle stuck in mud. An older man living in the barn, 78-year-old Fletcher Foster, encountered them and did not recognize Kelley, mistaking him for an intruder. Foster fired a shot that struck Kelley; Tulsa County deputies found Kelley with a gunshot wound and he later died of his injuries.

Foster was taken into custody at the scene and initially faced a charge of first-degree murder. The charge was later reduced and Foster pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter; he was sentenced to four years in prison. Did anyone in the area see activity at that barn around 2 a.m. that morning or have information about what led to Foster not recognizing Kelley?
