An argument ensued, and Forrest shot Wells in the face. Forrest, 66, is scheduled to be put to death Wednesday, May 11, 2016, for killing Dent County Sheriff’s Deputy Joann Barnes and two other people in 2002. He shot Smith six times and took a lockbox full of meth valued at $25,000. No one was sentenced to death in Missouri in 2014 or 2015, Dunham said. Earl Forrest died by injection for the December 2002 deaths of Harriett Smith, Michael Wells and Dent County Sheriff’s Deputy JoAnn Barnes.
