"Eviction Turned Deadly: Missouri Man Charged with Murder of Officer and Process Server"
The suspect in the shooting that left an Independence police officer and a Jackson County civil service officer dead was facing eviction due to over $29,000 in unpaid property taxes. Neighbors had noticed signs of trouble at the suspect's home, including a notice posted on the gate about unpaid taxes. The suspect, who lived alone and had a passion for collecting reptiles and snakes, had also faced legal issues with a roofing company. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but it appears to be linked to the eviction process.
