James Bradford Black, 34, was shot and killed on May 4, 2017, inside the Mifflin Township home he shared with roommate Erik Steven Taylor. Neighbors reported hearing a rapid succession of gunfire just after 3 p.m. at the residence in the 2400 block of Lindale Road. Taylor was injured in the incident.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during an armed home invasion and robbery. Bradley D. Lubell, 28, and a 16-year-old accomplice, Deveron Huett, were identified as involved; both were arrested and charged. Lubell was indicted on multiple counts including Aggravated Murder, Murder, Attempted Murder, Felonious Assault, Aggravated Burglary, and Aggravated Robbery. Huett faced delinquency counts of Aggravated Murder and Aggravated Robbery. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation assisted in the probe, but the motive remained unclear.

Black, known as JayBee, was born September 17, 1982, and grew up in Richwood, Ohio; he graduated from North Union High School in 2000. Did anyone who knew JayBee or that Lindale Road neighborhood see or hear anything that afternoon?
