In the early morning hours of May 7, 2020, officers in Junction City, Kansas, found two young men shot to death inside a home on the 800 block of W. 11th Street. The victims were identified as 21-year-old Dylan Spencer and 19-year-old Aaron Villarreal, both residents of Junction City.

Investigators soon identified two suspects and a multi-state search followed. In June 2020 Dontavion Wright, then 18, was arrested in Talladega, Alabama, on Geary County warrants charging him with two counts of first-degree murder. In September 2020 Nathaniel Roderick Holmes, also known as Nook, was arrested in Radcliff, Kentucky, on similar warrants; he was held on $2 million bond. Both men were extradited to Kansas.

In August 2023 Holmes went to trial and a Geary County jury acquitted him on both counts. As of that month, the case against Wright remained pending and he was scheduled for trial in September 2023. Does anyone have information about Dylan’s last known movements or who might help explain what led to that night?
