On the evening of Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2018, a home invasion on Fort Wayne’s south side left three young men dead and two others wounded. Among the victims was 20-year-old Colton D. Messmer. Emergency responders arrived about 10:30 p.m. to find Messmer, 23-year-old Joevonn M. Johnson, and 21-year-old Tracey A. Andrews deceased from gunshot wounds; the deaths were ruled homicides by the Allen County coroner.

Investigators described the attack as a drug-related armed robbery aimed at a marijuana-selling operation run out of the house. Two survivors reported that a pair of attackers tried to rob them; one was critically injured and flown to an Indianapolis hospital, the other treated for a back wound. Police arrested 22-year-old Kameron J. Joyner and held him on preliminary counts of aggravated battery; prosecutors later filed five counts of aggravated battery. Authorities also sought another 22-year-old person of interest.

Does anyone have information about Colton Messmer, that house, or the people involved that could help clarify what happened that night?
