William Hesson, 25, was found dead on a rural Shawnee road on September 7, 2022, after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Court documents say the killing grew out of a dispute at a local detailing shop over a missing pound of marijuana; coworkers blamed Hesson and arranged a confrontation.

According to the documents, Brian Locke and Namir Hulbert and a third colleague drove Hesson to Crossland Road the night of September 6. An argument took place and, as Hesson turned to leave, he was shot in the back of the head. His body was located the next morning with seven gunshot wounds to the head and back. The firearms used — a .38 revolver and a pistol — were reported to belong to Hesson.

After the shooting the three suspects fled the state: Locke and Hulbert to Louisiana and the third to Arizona. All three were later arrested; Locke and Hulbert were detained in Louisiana pending extradition to Pottawatomie County, and the third suspect was booked in Pottawatomie County Jail on a first-degree murder charge.

Did anyone who knew William or saw him around Shawnee in early September 2022 notice anything that could help clarify what happened?
