Peter Lambermont, 15, was found dead on January 4, 2020, near the 3100 block of North Priscilla Avenue on Indianapolis’ east side; he was pronounced dead at the scene after being discovered with multiple gunshot wounds behind a vacant house his parents had been rehabbing. An autopsy determined he had been shot nine times, with wounds to the head, abdomen, thighs and other areas.

Investigators say the killing arose from a dispute over a firearm. Court documents and testimony describe Lambermont retrieving a handgun hidden by an acquaintance, Treshawn Davidson, days before the shooting. On the day of the murder Davidson and another man, Jakeb Wells, allegedly picked Lambermont up and drove him to Priscilla Avenue; Wells reportedly ordered him out of the car and then opened fire despite the victim’s pleas. Detectives used cellphone location data, social media material and witness statements to identify the suspects; police also say Wells posted a video to Snapchat the day after the killing brandishing a gun and rapping about killing someone he knew.

Two suspects were arrested in May 2020: Wells and Davidson. At trial in June 2021, Davidson reportedly testified that Wells was the shooter, and a jury found Wells guilty; in late July 2021 a judge sentenced Wells to 50 years. Does anyone have information about Peter, his family, or what led to the dispute over the firearm?
