On a late Thursday night in November 2015, a group of masked men forced entry into an upstairs unit at Beacon Point Apartments on Arkansas Boulevard in Texarkana, Arkansas. After a knock at the door, multiple gunshots were fired and 22-year-old Travon Staten was found deceased inside his apartment when police arrived around midnight on Friday, November 20. The same incident also killed 33-year-old Julian Bolton, who was found outside the complex.

Investigators reported narcotics, money, and several weapons at the scene and treated the attack as a drug-related robbery that went wrong. A pregnant woman and a small child who were inside the apartment were not physically harmed. Detectives identified Justin Damone Johnson as a primary suspect; he was arrested and charged with capital murder and tried in May 2017, but a jury acquitted him of that charge. Rashod Rushing was charged with second-degree murder in Julian Bolton’s death.

Does anyone have information about the November 20, 2015 home invasion or knew Travon Staten that could help clarify what happened?
