Jonathan Methot, 30, was shot and killed inside his West Cutts Street apartment in Biddeford, Maine, in the early hours of Monday, September 26, 2016. Police were called just after 1 a.m. to a duplex at the end of the dead-end street; several people were present in the unit. Investigators treated the death as a homicide and said it did not appear random, with suspicion that those involved knew one another. The probe focused on a possible drug connection.

Within days, Maine State Police charged 22-year-old Timothy L. Ortiz of Brooklyn, New York, with murder; Ortiz was already in custody on a probation violation tied to earlier aggravated sex trafficking and unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs charges. Ortiz made a first court appearance in early October 2016 and was held without bail. Methot had a criminal history that included drug offenses and a domestic violence assault, and he lived with his mother and was the father of an eight-year-old son.

What details about that night or the people who were at the duplex could help clarify what happened?
