New Details in Joplin Murder Case

 

 More details are emerging in the death of an Oklahoma man found murdered along I-44 near Joplin last week.

 

 Two Honduran brothers were arrested in Kansas City late last week in connection to the crime. Detectives investigating the case say the two brothers were traveling from their home in Columbia, Tennessee, to Tulsa in order to buy methamphetamine. It it thought that they ran out of money in Joplin and approached 63-year-old Jesse Gilmore as he sat in his car at a Joplin gas station. The older of the two allegedly approached Gilmore, shot him in the head, then took his money and his car. The pair dumped Gilmore’s body in a dry creek bed along I-44. The older brother has been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

 

Authorities continue to investigate.
