Arles Slaven, 49, was fatally shot at a residence on Douglas Road in Osceola, Indiana, on September 15, 2015. The address was known to police for prior drug-related activity. Slaven had accompanied his friend Lacy Patton to the house so Patton could retrieve his infant child from the mother, who was reportedly at the home to buy marijuana.

An altercation inside the residence escalated to multiple gunshots. Police found Slaven deceased at the scene; investigators later determined Slaven, who was unarmed, was shot by 24-year-old Terral Golden. Golden pursued Patton outside and attempted to shoot him as well, but the gun reportedly misfired. Authorities arrested Golden the next day at another residence and recovered a Bushmaster AR-15 and a 10mm Glock. Ballistics testing linked the Glock casings to the murder scene.

A St. Joseph County jury found Terral Golden guilty of Slaven’s murder and the attempted murder of Patton. If anyone knew Arles Slaven or was at Douglas Road that night, please share what you remember.
