Baseballer Chris Lane screamed as he was shot in back Melbourne baseball star Chris Lane, 22, pictured with American girlfriend Sarah Harper, died after being shot in the back during an afternoon jog in Oklahoma. AUSTRALIAN baseball player Chris Lane screamed after being shot in the back while jogging along a road in Oklahoma, according to new court records. The chilling details of Lane's last moments of life came in the alleged confession of Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, who was one of three teenagers police believe took part in the drive-by thrill-kill murder of the Melbourne man in Duncan, Oklahoma, on August 16. Jones and two other boys, Chancey Luna, 16, and James Edwards, who was 15 at the time of the murder but recently turned 16, randomly targeted Lane because they were bored, police allege. "Jones advised that Chancey Luna had fired the shot that struck Christopher Lane and that Jones heard Christopher Lane scream as the shot was fired," an investigator working for District Attorney Jason Hicks wrote in court papers, according to The Oklahoman newspaper. Police allege Lane was shot in the back at close range with a .22 calibre revolver and died on the side of the road a short time later. Luna and Edwards Jr were charged with first-degree murder. Jones was charged with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact and use of a vehicle in discharge of a weapon. Investigators have obtained evidence from the three defendants' Facebook accounts that may link them to gangs, the court records show. "These social media outlets have been a source and avenue of posting of criminal-affiliated activities by posing and showing associations with gangs and firearms that are commonly associated with gang-affiliated activities," the investigator wrote. Lane, 22, was studying in the US on a baseball scholarship with Oklahoma's East Central University.
