On the evening of May 8, 2014, 27-year-old Travontae Calloway was celebrating his birthday at his Boise apartment with his girlfriend and friend 28-year-old Elliott Bailey when a gunman forced his way inside and opened fire. Both Calloway and Bailey died of multiple gunshot wounds at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center; Calloway’s girlfriend was wounded. Police determined the attack was not random and that the shootings were part of a murder-for-hire plot tied to the theft of 30 pounds of marijuana.

Investigators say Anthony J. Robins Jr., then 34 and from Fremont, California, arranged the killings after believing Calloway and Bailey had stolen the drugs. John C. Douglas, described as the gunman who entered the apartment, was hired to carry out the attack. Boise police arrested Samari P. Winn the day after the shooting for allegedly leading Douglas to the apartment. A fourth person, Anton Philip Raider, was connected through a white cargo van registered in his name and later pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting attempted murder.

By January 2016, jurors convicted Douglas of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder; Robins and Winn were convicted of aiding and abetting first-degree murder and aiding and abetting attempted murder. Douglas received life without the possibility of parole. Anyone with information about Travontae Calloway or the case is asked to come forward.
