Dustin Payne, 33, of Scipio, Indiana, was shot and killed during a custody exchange on the evening of March 10, 2019. The exchange took place in the parking lot of a JayC Food Store on West Tipton Street in Seymour while Payne was accompanied by his fiancée and his four children were present. Payne and his sister’s husband, 61-year-old William Baker, got into a verbal argument that turned violent; Baker shot Payne once in the chest with a revolver. Payne was taken to Schneck Medical Center and then airlifted to the University of Louisville Hospital, where he died that night. Baker was arrested at the scene and charged with murder; reports say the two men had a prior history of conflict.

Did anyone in the Seymour area witness the custody exchange or the moments leading up to the shooting?
