Kevin Sanders, 23, was shot and killed during a home invasion in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, on the evening of December 1, 2020. Sanders was at a Begley Street residence with another person when what began as a planned robbery turned deadly; he sustained fatal gunshot wounds. Another occupant, Adriana Lundy, was shot and seriously injured but survived.

Authorities identified two local men, Christopher Jantzen Gilmore, 22, and Stacy Andrew Gipson, 25, as suspects. Investigators say the motive was to steal marijuana and money from the home. Gilmore was arrested locally and Gipson was initially at large but later located and taken into custody. Both were charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, armed criminal action, and first-degree robbery and burglary. Gilmore was ordered to stand trial in connection with Sanders’s death.
