On a summer night in July 2018, 28-year-old Nicholas Edwards was celebrating a friend’s birthday in Gary, Indiana, with Darius Ross, 28, and Ross’s fiancée Heather Talley, 27. The next day the three were found shot to death: Talley along a roadside in Gary, and Edwards and Ross inside the trunk of Ross’s abandoned car. A fourth person was reportedly present at the scene but not named in available details.

The case remained unsolved until May 2021, when a man facing federal firearms charges told investigators that Huston J. Bond had confessed and described his and another man’s involvement. The informant said Bond implicated Erik P. Long as the other shooter and claimed they opened fire on the group as they entered a house in Gary. Those leads led to arrests in February 2022: Erik P. Long, 43, and Huston J. Bond, 32, were charged with three counts of murder in the deaths of Edwards, Ross, and Talley.

Does anyone have information about Nicholas’s movements that night or about the location where the group went in Gary?
