On July 16, 2017, 19-year-old Justin Crowder was killed inside an apartment at the Somerset Lakes Apartments on Indianapolis’ north side. Two other men found dead in the same unit were 25-year-old Dominique Miller and 25-year-old Jordan Wright; all three suffered gunshot wounds in what police described as a robbery that escalated into a triple homicide. The initial call to police came in around 6 p.m., and investigators concluded the apartment and the people inside had been specifically targeted.

Prosecutors said the plan began as a robbery of Justin Crowder but turned fatal for everyone present. Five people were later charged in connection with the incident. Troy Ward was identified as the primary attacker and, after a six-day trial, was convicted on multiple counts including three counts of murder and related robbery and weapons charges; he received a 180-year sentence. Martell Williams was convicted on felony murder and robbery charges and given 145 years. Two men, Stanley Williams and Devante Gilbert, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit armed robbery, got nine-year terms, and testified against Ward and Martell Williams. A fifth accomplice pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received a multi-decade sentence.

Did anyone who knew Justin, Dominique, or Jordan have information about who they were with or what led to them being targeted that night?
