In the early hours of February 23, 2022, 25-year-old Izjohn S. Trice was brought to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Kokomo with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was rushed in about 1:30 a.m., but medical staff were unable to save him and he was pronounced dead. The Howard County Coroner later ruled a single gunshot wound as the cause of death.

Kokomo Police identified a residence in the 1600 block of North Wabash Street on the city’s northwest side as the scene of the shooting. Detectives interviewed witnesses, including those who transported Trice to the hospital, while investigators sought to determine a motive.

On March 15, 2022, an arrest warrant was issued for 31-year-old Jonathan L. Capers of Kokomo; Capers was already in the Howard County Jail on an unrelated matter when served and was charged with Trice’s murder. The Kokomo Police Department asked the public for any information that could help the ongoing investigation.

Did anyone in Kokomo see or hear anything in that neighborhood that night that could help explain what happened?
