On August 5, 2021, 13-year-old Avointae Tarvaris Sices was shot at a residence on East Sundew Drive in Tucson, Arizona. Family remembered Avointae as the life of the party, who loved dancing, rapping, and had an infectious laugh. He shared a close bond with 34-year-old Jamarr Edward Jones, who was also at the house that day and was fatally shot at the scene.

Both Avointae and Jamarr were struck by gunfire; Jamarr was pronounced dead inside the residence and Avointae was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died. Crowder returned to the scene while officers were still processing it and was arrested without incident.

Reports state Crowder had purchased the handgun in late July, was briefly held at a mental health facility, and had test-fired the weapon the day he returned to the house. He was charged in the killings. Does anyone have information about Avointae, Jamarr, or the events at the Sundew Drive residence that could help clarify what happened?
