Ja'Cory Ranger, 28, was found shot to death inside a south Phoenix home near 5600 S 13th Place on June 25, 2018. Officers discovered Ranger and another man, 35-year-old Ricky Elam Jr., both dead of gunshot wounds; a third person was injured and later treated at a hospital. Ranger was a father; his family said he had checked on his sons that day and told his mother he would be home in a minute but never returned. His brother described the family’s immense pain and said neither victim knew the suspect or was involved with the wrong crowd.

Both men worked in construction and shared responsibility for 12 children between them. Phoenix police identified 38-year-old Terrance Lamb as the suspect, saying he allegedly shot the two men and fled in a 1997 Chevy van. The families and investigators added to a reward that reached $5,000 to help locate him.

Did anyone in the Phoenix area see a 1997 Chevy van or have information about the men that could help this case?
