On the night of April 18, 2022, 58-year-old Mark Chan Lee was killed during a violent home invasion in Fulton, Missouri. An intruder forced entry into the residence, and during a violent altercation Lee sustained multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital in Columbia and later pronounced dead. Two other occupants were hurt: another man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was hospitalized, and a woman was physically assaulted at the scene. Witnesses saw a man fleeing after the shots.

The next day a man’s body was found a few blocks from the home, partially concealed under a utility trailer. He was identified as 45-year-old Willie M. Thompkins of Fulton, and authorities say he had a gunshot wound, had attempted to use a tourniquet on himself, and a firearm was recovered with the body. Officials have identified Thompkins as the suspect in the home invasion; the investigation into motive and circumstances is ongoing.

If anyone saw activity in the neighborhood that night or knows anything about the people involved, please share information with investigators.
