On June 20, 2018, Christopher McLaurin, 28, was found fatally shot in a Syracuse apartment alongside another man, Luis Sepulveda. Police say the shootings grew out of a planned robbery of marijuana and cash that escalated to deadly violence.

Authorities identified three family members as suspects: Treamon Elmore, 24 at the time; his sister Jazzmin Elmore, 28; and their 13-year-old brother Brendell Elmore. Brendell testified at trial that Jazzmin showed him how to handle a pistol and that Treamon told him to leave the apartment just before he heard shots and a scream. Because he was a minor and cooperated with prosecutors, Brendell was not charged with murder.

Treamon Elmore was convicted on two counts of first-degree murder, and Jazzmin Elmore was convicted of criminal sale of a firearm and conspiracy. Both had appeals denied. Did anyone in Syracuse know Christopher McLaurin or have information about the events that night?
