On the evening of May 7, 2013, Wilson Lenin Abarca-Mejia, 30, was found lying in the road in the 1400 block of Abbott Street Northwest in Roanoke, Virginia, having been shot in the back. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man, Juan Berrios, suffered a gunshot wound to the arm, was conscious and taken to a local hospital.

Roanoke Police investigations led to two suspects who were later arrested and charged with murder. Anita Otey, 19, was taken into custody on May 11, 2013. Damonta Jybrell Ingram, 19, was arrested June 6, 2013; officers found him in possession of a gun at that time, though it was not immediately confirmed whether it was the weapon used. A search warrant linked Ingram to one victim by showing the injured man’s last outgoing call went to a number associated with Ingram. Berrios described a Black male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with red and white markings. Investigators believed a revolver may have been used because no shell casings were recovered; a search of the victims’ black Toyota RAV4 turned up marijuana, blood, and a bloody fingerprint on the hood.

Does anyone with knowledge of this case or who knew the victims have information to share?
