On the morning of August 24, 2008, 26-year-old Loren Hinkle and his 25-year-old girlfriend Dhanika McDaniel were found shot to death in a North Buffalo apartment on Sanders Road. An autopsy showed each died from a single gunshot wound. No signs of forced entry were reported, and police said that at least one of the victims was known to law enforcement, prompting investigators to treat the killings as a targeted attack. Some reports suggested a possible drug connection.

McDaniel’s young son, about four years old, was in the home and may have witnessed the double homicide. No arrests have ever been announced and the case is considered cold. Can anyone who knew Loren or Dhanika, or who was in the Sanders Road area on August 24, 2008, help with information?
