Jonathan Stitts, 37, was fatally shot in his Evansville, Indiana apartment on October 1, 2021. Responding officers found Stitts had been shot multiple times; first responders attempted lifesaving measures but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance from the Parrett Street apartment complex captured two teenagers at the scene: 17-year-old Samajui Barnes and 15-year-old Arkee Coleman. The footage reportedly shows Barnes running from Stitts’ third-floor apartment holding a handgun, turning back and firing several shots toward the apartment door, and both teens fleeing together; Stitts fell after the shots.

Both teenagers were arrested and charged in connection with the killing. What details about motive, a timeline of events inside the apartment, or other potential witnesses remain unclear; anyone with information about that night or who knew Jonathan is asked to come forward.
