Lamarion Jeremiah Bailey, an 18-year-old Black male from LaGrange, Georgia, was fatally shot on the evening of Monday, January 29, 2024, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He and 17-year-old Adaija Armani Okey were found dead inside a vehicle in the 700 block of Romy Avenue; both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and their deaths were ruled homicides. Lamarion was pronounced dead at the scene; his death was counted as Allen County’s fourth homicide of 2024.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Dionee White as a primary suspect. Court documents unsealed in April 2024 say a witness identified White as the shooter, and surveillance footage reportedly shows two suspects backing a vehicle into an alley, walking up to the victims’ car and opening fire. A warrant for White’s arrest on two counts of murder was issued in February 2024.

After a multi-month search, Dionee White was taken into custody without incident on June 26, 2024, when police served a search warrant at a residence in the 900 block of Francis Street. White is being held in the county jail on two murder counts. Does anyone have information about the victims, the vehicle, or the events on Romy Avenue that evening?
