Bronson Boyles, 19, was shot and killed on July 28, 2017, at the Summer Wind Apartment Homes in Abilene, Texas. Police affidavits describe a planned robbery: a group of five allegedly conspired to target Boyles because they believed he sold marijuana. On the night of the incident, D’Audre Raashawn Hight-Ealy is said to have lured Boyles outside his apartment. A scuffle ensued between Boyles and D’Jaman Keshod West, and West shot Boyles; the group then fled.
Hight-Ealy later told police that West fired the shot but also admitted to telling others he was the shooter while intoxicated. Three suspects were arrested initially: Hight-Ealy, West, and Jerel Lamar Mathis Jr.; charges against Mathis were later dropped. West and Hight-Ealy were indicted on murder, aggravated robbery, and tampering with evidence. Hight-Ealy was convicted of aggravated robbery and acquitted of murder and received a 40-year sentence; West was found guilty of murder and sentenced to prison.
Are there investigators or witnesses who remember the Summer Wind Apartments the night of July 28, 2017, or who can add details about the people involved?
