On the evening of December 30, 2017, the body of 41-year-old Michael Pardee of Danville was found in a vehicle on Green River Road in Evansville, Indiana. An autopsy determined he died of a single gunshot wound to the head. Investigators say the shooting occurred during a prearranged marijuana transaction that had been set up as a robbery.

Police identified three men who attended the meeting: 20-year-old DaSean Summers, 21-year-old Donovan Thomas, and Romano Wright. Thomas was arrested and charged with murder, Summers was charged with felony murder for arranging the deal, and Wright was arrested for his role.

Romano Wright pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery and was sentenced to four years. The outcome for DaSean Summers is not publicly documented. Did anyone in the Evansville area have information about Pardee’s movements or the men involved that night?
