On the morning of September 20, 2014, 20-year-old Jonathan Michael Watkins of Windsor Mill, Maryland, was found dead at the intersection of Lantern Hill Drive and Sedgemoor Road in Lochearn. Police discovered Watkins at 2:06 a.m. suffering from severe trauma; an autopsy later showed a gunshot wound to the head was the cause of death.

A key witness, long-time friend Aaron Battle, who had been staying with Watkins, said the two had spent the day together and had been on the corner of Sedgemoor and Marston that night with the intent to rob people. Battle told investigators that around 1:15 a.m. three men walked by, and about 2:00 a.m. a bluish Nissan passed; a man in a blueish-gray jacket then approached Watkins from behind and shot him in the back of the head before fleeing in the vehicle. Battle said he tried to wake Watkins, then went to a gas station and later to his mother’s house and the police station.

Did anyone in the Lochearn area see activity near Lantern Hill Drive and Sedgemoor Road that night or know more about the bluish Nissan mentioned by the witness?
