Missoula, MT, October 16, 2026 —

Steven Michael Dailey, 62, of Missoula, has been identified as the suspect in a fatal shooting inside a Bozeman business. Shelli Waltemath, 50, was found dead at the business from multiple gunshot wounds. Dailey’s body was subsequently found in a field in Bozeman.

The information provided does not identify the business or specify when the shooting occurred. It also does not describe how the two people were connected, when Waltemath was found, or when Dailey’s body was located. No further details about the circumstances of the shooting are available in the summary.

Dailey is identified as the suspect; the information provided does not state whether he was charged or describe any legal proceedings. It also does not give a cause of death for Dailey or say whether investigators determined how he died. No motive, account of the events leading to the shooting, or details about possible witnesses are included.

The summary does not provide information about police agencies involved, statements from investigators or relatives, or any findings from an investigation. It therefore establishes the identities and ages of the two people, the location of the shooting and where Dailey’s body was later found, but leaves the timeline and other circumstances unspecified.
