MOBERLY, Mo. (AP) — Court records say a methamphetamine robbery led to a double homicide outside a central Missouri bar.

20-year-old Christopher Esry, 40-year-old Aaron Bloss, 29-year-old Travis Koenig and 22-year-old Steven Dale Bell are jailed on $1 million bonds.

Charging documents say Bloss told police that Esry asked for a ride early Friday and threatened him to get him to participate in the robbery outside the bar in Moberly. Bloss said he wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger. The shooting killed 51-year-old Darren Stacey Tharp, of Columbia, and 24-year-old Shane Austin Hare, of Jacksonville, Florida.

Bloss said Koenig was the getaway driver, and Bell helped dispose of evidence.

Esry is charged with first-degree murder, and Bloss and Koenig with second-degree murder. Bell is charged with evidence tampering.

MOBERLY, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say four men have been arrested in a central Missouri shooting that left one man from Florida and another from Missouri dead.

The Columbia Missourian reports that 40-year-old Aaron Bloss, 29-year-old Travis Koenig, 22-year-old Steven Dale Bell and 20-year-old Christopher Esry are jailed on $1 million cash-only bonds. Bloss, Esry and Koenig face murder charges, while Bell is charged with tampering with evidence.

Surveillance video showed 51-year-old Darren Stacey Tharp, of Columbia, Missouri, and 24-year-old Shane Austin Hare, of Jacksonville, Florida, pulling into the parking lot of a Moberly, Missouri, bar early Friday. The bar, called Bud’s Place, said in a Facebook post that staff found the men’s bodies the next day.

Hare’s sister, Sara Hare, said her brother was staying with Tharp’s nephew while visiting friends in Missouri.
