A planned armed home invasion in Spiceland, Indiana, ended with the death of 23-year-old Chancellor David Smith on November 6, 2016. The attack grew out of a personal dispute involving Jessie Fulton and two men, Devin Asberry and Tyler Pennington, after Asberry and Pennington began dating Fulton’s ex-girlfriend and her housemate. Fulton allegedly threatened the women and the two men; a confrontation followed in which Fulton reportedly pulled a gun on Asberry and Pennington.

Asberry and Pennington recruited 26-year-old Camron Perkins. In the early morning the three, wearing ski masks and carrying handguns, entered the home where Fulton was staying with friends. Perkins, armed with a .45 caliber handgun, was the first inside and held Chancellor Smith at gunpoint. When Fulton came out of a bedroom a shootout erupted: Fulton was wounded by Pennington, and Chancellor Smith was shot and killed.

Perkins was tried and convicted after evidence showed the fatal shot came from his .45; he was sentenced to 95 years and his appeal was denied. Asberry and Pennington were also arrested and later received lengthy prison terms for their roles in the invasion and Smith’s death.

Did anyone who knew Chancellor Smith or who was in that neighborhood on November 6 have information that could shed more light on what happened?
