A planned drug purchase in an Indiana, Pennsylvania apartment ended in deadly violence on May 10, 2016. Thirty-four-year-old Jamar Watt and another man, Shawn Richardson, went to the Essex House apartment of Indiana University of Pennsylvania student George Exum accompanied by two women, Catherine Hullenbaugh and Consetta Menta. Watt and Richardson allegedly intended to rob Exum of drugs and money. Exum reported he was attacked with a tire iron and, he said, shot both men with a .38-caliber revolver in what he later described as self-defense. Watt was killed at the scene; Richardson fled but died at a hospital.

Police arrested Exum, Hullenbaugh, and Menta. The homicide and aggravated assault counts against Exum were later withdrawn; he pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver and tampering with evidence and received a jail term and probation in February 2017. Hullenbaugh and Menta pleaded guilty to criminal conspiracy to commit robbery and were sentenced in late 2016 and February 2017, respectively. Does anyone have additional information about Watt’s life or about the events that night?
