On June 19, 2022, two 21-year-olds were found dead inside an apartment at 49 Fourth Street in Auburn, Maine. Pierre Langlois, a Black man from Meriden, Connecticut, and Kelzie Caron of Auburn were discovered after a caller reported an apparent cardiac arrest; the chief medical examiner later ruled both deaths the result of foul play, turning the call into a double homicide investigation.

The probe expanded into a multi-state effort involving agencies in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Maryland. Investigators sought a black 2018 Hyundai Tucson connected to the case and identified 34-year-old David Barnett of Bristol, Connecticut, known by the street names Slim and Cash, as a suspect. Barnett was arrested outside an apartment complex in Rockville, Maryland, on July 1, 2022.

According to court disclosures, Barnett said he came to Maine to sell drugs and believed Langlois threatened a man dating Caron. Barnett told authorities Caron let him into the apartment, Langlois gave him a gun to hold, and Barnett fatally shot Langlois while he slept. Barnett said he then killed Caron when she woke and witnessed the shooting, took the victims’ cellphones and fled in Caron’s vehicle, leaving her two young children, ages two and four, locked inside the apartment with the bodies until their grandmother found them hours later.

Did anyone in the Auburn or Meriden communities have contact with Langlois or Caron around mid-June 2022 or see the black 2018 Hyundai Tucson?
