In the early morning hours of December 3, 2021, two teenagers were found shot to death in a garage on Cumberland Avenue in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Brendan Steave Cole, 19, and Juan Jose Ramirez Jr., 16, were discovered just before 2:30 a.m., each wearing a ski mask and each suffering multiple gunshot wounds. The Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled the deaths a double homicide.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Tre Zwieg in connection with the killings. Prosecutors charged him with two counts of murder, two counts of felony murder, and burglary; they argued Zwieg had lured the victims to the location. The case record notes Zwieg and Cole had been involved in a traffic stop together in August 2021. Zwieg was convicted at trial and sentenced to 140 years in prison; his legal team has since filed an appeal challenging the sufficiency of the evidence and citing his age and mental health as mitigation, while the state defends the conviction and sentence.

Does anyone have information about Cole’s last known contacts or movements in Fort Wayne the night before December 3, 2021?
