Wesley Charles Ehrie, 32, was shot to death on the morning of April 21, 2015, after a dispute over a television in the 900 block of North Ninth Street in Lafayette, Indiana. Medics performed chest compressions at the scene and he later died at St. Elizabeth East hospital. Ehrie worked in construction and enjoyed fishing and mushroom hunting; he had been released from prison two months earlier and was on probation for drug-related offenses.

Authorities identified 34-year-old Shane David Townsley of Flora, Indiana, as the primary and sole suspect in Ehrie’s murder. Townsley fled the state and was pursued to Tennessee, where a confrontation with officers ended in a shootout. Another man, Michael Borders, was arrested near the scene on drug and paraphernalia charges, but his arrest was not tied to the homicide.

Did anyone in Lafayette or Flora know Ehrie or Townsley and have details about the events on April 21, 2015?
