On July 13, 2020, 51-year-old Terry Glenn Harless was found shot to death in his home on Broadway in Lamar, Missouri. Harless, a welder known to friends and family as Bubba or Billy Bob, became the subject of a homicide investigation led by the Lamar Police Department with assistance from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Investigators identified multiple suspects in the case.

Three men were later linked to the killing: Lane R. Bronson of Carthage, Tre Robert Ackerson of Joplin, and David William Morris of Duenweg. Bronson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on October 7, 2021. Bronson was sentenced on July 23, 2024, to 20 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections, to run concurrently with a federal sentence he was already serving. Ackerson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Barton County on July 18, 2024, and also received a 20-year sentence to be served concurrently with a separate federal sentence. Morris was the subject of a manhunt, was captured in Grove, Oklahoma, and as of mid-2024 remained in federal custody pending transfer to face charges in Barton County.
