Six Missouri residents have been indicted in the kidnapping and murder of another Missouri man whose body was found a year ago after a violent standoff with one of the suspects.
Acting on a tip that there was a body in the woods near a house outside Joplin, Newton County deputies and Joplin police showed up on July 28, 2020, with a search warrant to take a look. But when they stepped on the front porch to serve the warrant, someone inside opened fire, the US Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri said.
The officers retreated, and no one was hurt. They called in a SWAT team that tried to negotiate with the shooter, but when he refused to surrender, they fired tear gas into the house, forcing him out.
