An argument over property reportedly led to the shooting death of a 21-year-old Lincoln County man Monday afternoon.
Lincoln County Sheriff’s Capt. Chuck Brewer, also an investigator, identified the shooting victim as Lucas Goss, 331824 Oak Meadow, located about a ¼ mile west of SH 102. Brewer said Goss suffered two gunshot wounds and died while en route to a hospital.
A suspect was arrested and is in the Lincoln County Jail in Chandler, Brewer reported. He said Freddie Seamster, 38, was arrested and booked on a second degree murder charge and is being held without bond.
Seamster appeared before a judge Tuesday afternoon, Brewer stated.
The sheriff’s captain said that Goss suffered two shots from a .40 caliber pistol. One went into and through the stomach and the other shot struck and went through his arm into his stomach.
Brewer said the shooting “apparently was about an ongoing dispute over some property that began last Friday, July 2, and spilled over to Monday, July 5.”
The shooting occurred around 12:10 p.m. Monday at 331824 Oak Meadow. Brewer said deputies were dispatched to the shooting. He reported the suspect made one of the 911 calls and the victim’s fiance made the other.
Reportedly, when the suspect called 911 he told the dispatcher he had shot his neighbor, that he would unload his gun and would be waiting on the front porch for officers.
Brewer said Southwest Fire and also an ambulance responded to the scene. Two patrol deputies and four investigators also responded and Brewer took charge of the case since he was the on call investigator.
“Once I arrived at the scene, conducted the interviews with the various parties involved, the suspect was placed under arrest and transported to the Lincoln County Jail by a Wellston police officer who also was at the scene to assist,” Brewer said.
