In the summer of 2015 Aaron Tyrone Hunter Jr, 36, was one of two men found shot to death in a home on Perrin Avenue in Lafayette, Indiana. On August 4, Hunter and 46-year-old Terry L. Smith Jr. were discovered with gunshot wounds; the incident was ruled a double homicide and the Lafayette Police Department opened an investigation.

Within days two men were arrested and charged in connection with the killings: 34-year-old Matthew Erdal and 19-year-old Jacob Guffey. Court filings later connected the motive to drug-related issues. In July 2016 Erdal pleaded guilty to two counts of felony murder and to being a serious violent felon in possession of a firearm and received a 55-year prison sentence; the victim’s father addressed the court and said he forgave Erdal.

If anyone knew Aaron Hunter Jr., his movements that week, or has information about the Perrin Avenue scene, please share what is known.
