Amarion Holmes, 20, was shot to death on an April afternoon in 2022 in a quiet alley in the 800 block of Drackert Street in Hammond, Indiana. Holmes had driven a white Hyundai sedan to the location for what he believed was a prearranged marijuana sale but was instead lured into a deadly trap. Responding officers found him slumped in the driver’s seat, car still in drive with his foot on the brake; he had been shot three times, with wounds to his head and shoulder. His wallet and identification were missing, and no firearms or drugs were recovered from his vehicle.

An empty handgun holster was tucked into his waistband. Witnesses heard a gunshot and reported seeing a man in all-black clothing and a ski mask walking away. In July 2022, an 18-year-old, Davon Nathaniel Jones, was arrested in connection with the killing after a forensic phone examination placed him at the scene and investigators seized a black face mask and sweatpants matching witness descriptions, plus messaging-app conversations in which Jones and a friend discussed robberies and used a slang term for robbery when setting up the meeting with Holmes.

Does anyone have information about Holmes, the prearranged meeting, or the events that afternoon?
