Dustin Michael Woods, 29, was killed in Indianapolis on February 8, 2014. Known as Dusty, he was a father of four who worked in construction and as a cook and enjoyed cooking, fishing, and riding dirt bikes. The killing occurred at the Regal 8 Hotel on West Washington Street after Woods and a friend were in a room collecting items to sell at pawn shops.

Two men, identified as Eric Johnson and Alejandro Mauricio, forced their way into the room with a handgun and bound both men with tape before taking belongings. Woods managed to free himself and chased the robbers into the motel parking lot, where one of the assailants fired a single shot that struck him in the head and proved fatal.

Both Johnson and Mauricio were arrested and later convicted for their roles in the robbery and death; Johnson was convicted of murder, robbery, and criminal confinement and received a 98-year sentence, while Mauricio received 35 years. Does anyone have information about Woods life in Indianapolis or the night at the Regal 8 that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
