Dorian Colston was 21 when he was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of his vehicle after a crash on Highway 90 near Jones Road in the early morning hours of July 4, 2018. What first looked like an accident was determined to be a homicide: Colston had been shot multiple times, and an autopsy later recorded eight gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Investigators said the killing was part of an alleged contract hit. The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office identified a suspect and charged 22-year-old Jermaine Dutt Washington Jr. of Welsh with murder; authorities also named Josiah Jackson as the person who allegedly hired Washington and Karrington Henry as the driver on the night of the killing. According to testimony reported at trial, Henry said Washington claimed there was money on Colston’s head and that Washington would be paid $5,000 to carry out the shooting; Henry said he drove Washington to meet Colston, watched Washington get into Colston’s car and then saw flashes from the gun as Washington shot Colston multiple times.

Henry told investigators he was paid $2,000 for driving and later led them to the discarded murder weapon. What additional information can anyone who knew Dorian or saw him around Lake Charles in 2018 share with the forum?
