In late summer 2022 a Syracuse apartment on Burnet Avenue became the scene of a double homicide. Thirty-two-year-old Alexis Sellin and her boyfriend, 46-year-old Jami Crawford, were found shot multiple times in their home on August 24. A home healthcare worker discovered the bodies and found Sellin’s young son — blind and non-verbal — alive in the apartment after having been left alone with the bodies for several days.

Police identified three suspects and charged one of them, Jamel Weston, with first-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon; he was already in custody on unrelated narcotics charges. Investigators later arrested two additional suspects, Lashaun Dixon and Donnell Thornton, charging them with the same counts. The prosecution’s case relied heavily on circumstantial evidence cited in reports, including cellphone data and surveillance footage.

The killings devastated both families and the local community. If anyone has information about what happened at the Burnet Avenue residence in August 2022, please share what you know with investigators.
