Cajun F. Thomas was 19 when he was fatally shot on April 27, 2007, in Columbus, Ohio. He was at home watching television with his mother when the shooting occurred. Cajun was survived by his mother Miko Dotstry, stepfather Willie Dotstry Sr., maternal grandparents Rita Boykin and John Boykin, and his son Trevon Robinson-Thomas, among other relatives and friends.

An indictment named Cajun’s ex-boyfriend, James Allen Byrd, on two counts of murder with specifications and one count of having weapons while under disability. The indictment alleges Byrd entered the apartment and shot Cajun; Byrd was arrested and arraigned on the charges in Franklin County. The case drew attention because of the personal relationship between victim and accused and the circumstances of the killing.

If anyone knew Cajun, his family, or has information about the case, please share what might help investigators or the family.
