On the night of November 28, 2015, 17-year-old Javion Donjay Wilson was lured to a darkened street in Evansville, Indiana, and fatally shot in the back. A father and student in adult education classes working toward his GED, Wilson was remembered for a gentle smile and a close bond with his mother; he also played basketball at local courts and leagues.

The investigation identified another 17-year-old, Carltez J. Taylor, as the shooter. Taylor had prior juvenile offenses, including earlier gun-related charges, and had been released from a juvenile facility weeks before Wilson’s killing—a release that drew public scrutiny. In September 2016 a jury convicted Taylor of murder and sentenced him to life without parole; the sentence was later reviewed and reduced by the Indiana Supreme Court, and ultimately amended to 80 years in prison (65 years for murder plus 15 years for using a firearm).

Does anyone who knew Javion or saw him around Evansville have details that could add context to his last days?
