On September 18, 2019, deputies in Vincennes, Indiana, responded to a shooting at a residence on Thunderhill Drive and found 23-year-old Drew Allen Roach with a fatal gunshot wound. Roach was pronounced dead at the scene. A 22-year-old man from Vincennes, Jacob Samuel Lacoste, was present in the home and taken into custody as the sole suspect.

An autopsy was performed; specific results were withheld while the Knox County Sheriff’s Department and Indiana State Police investigated. Lacoste was initially charged with voluntary manslaughter. Charges were later elevated to murder in February 2021, but in December 2022 Lacoste pleaded guilty to the original voluntary manslaughter charge, asserting he acted in self-defense. In January 2023 a judge sentenced 26-year-old Lacoste to 20 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections and the murder charge was dismissed under the plea agreement.

If anyone knew Drew Roach or was in the Vincennes area that night, does any detail about his movements or the Thunderhill Drive residence help the record?
