Kevin Josue Colon Colon, 23, was killed in the early morning of July 18, 2018, in Evansville, Indiana. Police responding to a reported possible overdose at Sam’s Food Mart on Washington Avenue found Colon with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The Vanderburgh County Coroner ruled the death a homicide caused by the gunshot wound.

Investigators concluded the shooting occurred during an attempted robbery. Two teenagers, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were arrested in connection with the case. Jahkei Mitchell, the older youth, was waived into adult court and ultimately pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery; murder and attempted armed robbery charges against him were dropped and he received a three-year sentence. The other teen, Paris Cornell, 16, was tried as an adult, convicted of murder and related charges, and sentenced to a total of 62 years in prison including 10 years for use of a firearm.

Kevin’s older brother, Luis Colon, spoke at sentencing about the family’s lasting grief. Does anyone have information about Kevin’s last hours or what led up to the robbery attempt?
