On October 20, 2020, emergency responders in Bristol, Indiana, found 21-year-old Joshua Edward Roberts unresponsive inside a vehicle at the Timberbrook Mobile Home Park after a reported crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene; while the call first looked like a traffic accident, first responders noted injuries that prompted a criminal investigation. An autopsy determined Roberts died of a gunshot wound, and the Elkhart County Homicide Unit took over the case.

Detectives identified two suspects and described the incident as an apparent robbery gone wrong. On October 29, 2020, 19-year-old Carlos Escobar-Escobedo and 21-year-old Luis Garcia were arrested on murder charges. Legal proceedings continued into the following year, and in January 2022 both men pleaded guilty to robbery resulting in serious bodily injury; the original murder charges were dismissed and a judge sentenced each to 40 years in prison for their roles in Roberts’ death.

Does anyone have information about Roberts’ activities at Timberbrook Mobile Home Park on October 20, 2020, or other details that could fill gaps in the timeline?
