Aaron Lamont Ladson Jr. was a 32-year-old African American man from Warrensville Heights, Ohio, shot in the head and killed on June 4, 2015 in the driveway of his grandmother’s house. Known as Pudge, he was the brother of Brandon White, who had been killed earlier in a separate barbershop shooting.

Investigators say Aaron was a witness to a triple homicide at Chalk Linez barbershop in Warrensville Heights. Court documents allege that Douglas Shine Jr., already jailed in connection with the barbershop killings, conspired with Kevin McKinney to kill Aaron to eliminate him as a witness; Shine is accused of hiring McKinney to carry out the killing and of working with McKinney afterward to hide evidence. The charges in the case included aggravated murder, murder, aggravated burglary, and attempted aggravated murder, and a jury recommended the death penalty for Shine; the judge later imposed life without parole.

Who knew Aaron or saw him around Warrensville Heights in the weeks before June 4, 2015?
