David Barcus, 48, of Newark, Ohio, was found shot in his bed at a Cherry Street residence on January 20, 2018, and later died at Licking Memorial Hospital. Barcus had recently been released from prison and was staying in the home’s basement when the attack occurred.

Investigators say the shooting happened during an attempted robbery. Four people—Tyler Ocasio, Dustin Lehoe, Dylan Warren, and Jaden Osborn—broke into the house intending to steal money and drugs; Barcus was shot at close range. The suspects were arrested and charged with offenses that included aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, and witnesses at the ensuing trial described the events of that night.

Few public details remain about the immediate motive beyond the reported intent to steal. Does anyone have additional information about Barcus, the Cherry Street residence, or witnesses who came forward?
