On the evening of January 19, 2021, officers responded to the Country Villa apartment complex in West Lafayette and found 28-year-old Antonio Joiner deceased in a residence. He had sustained at least one gunshot wound, and the Tippecanoe County Coroner’s office was involved to determine cause and manner of death.

The West Lafayette Police Department opened an investigation, collected evidence and interviewed potential witnesses. In the days afterward officials said they did not suspect foul play, a statement that contrasted with the initial report of a gunshot wound and left questions about the circumstances of his death. No suspects or persons of interest were publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced.

Antonio Joiner’s death remains unresolved publicly, and family and friends have not received a definitive explanation. If anyone knew Antonio or has information about what happened at Country Villa on January 19, 2021, please share what you know.
