Robert Bob Colston Sr., 79, was fatally shot on June 5, 2016 while driving his truck in Lake Charles. The single gunshot struck him in the back, caused his vehicle to crash into a tree, and paramedics discovered the wound when they extracted him from the wreckage. Colston managed rental properties and was known to sometimes carry significant amounts of cash; investigators say he was targeted in what was described as an attempted holdup.

The investigation quickly identified a suspect, a local 16-year-old, Stacy Tyrone Johnson Jr., who was tried as an adult. The community reacted to the killing of a respected elderly resident, and Colston’s son and daughter publicly urged for the harshest possible penalty at sentencing.

A conviction for first-degree murder followed and a life sentence was imposed with eligibility for parole after 25 years; credit was given for time already served. Does anyone have information about Colston’s movements that day or witnessed the incident?
