On the afternoon of October 19, 2023, 22-year-old Jasani Taylor was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Quality Inn on Lincoln Way West in South Bend, Indiana. First responders arrived shortly before 2:30 p.m. and found Taylor and another young man, 20-year-old Amarion Kirk, inside a vehicle with apparent gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance from the hotel captured a Chevrolet Trax parked near the victims’ car and showed a man later identified as 26-year-old Reontre Lawrence exit the Trax and fire a rifle-style weapon multiple times into the driver’s side. Investigators recovered more than a dozen shell casings at the scene and found Lawrence’s cell phone, paperwork with his name, and a backpack linked to him in the vehicle he had been driving. Footage also shows a person carrying a similar backpack running from the scene toward nearby Beacon Heights Apartments.

An arrest warrant was issued charging Reontre Lawrence with two counts of murder. Does anyone have information about the day of the shooting or the movements around the Beacon Heights Apartments that afternoon?
