On September 26, 2008, two 22-year-olds were found shot to death inside a home at 611 S. Second Street in Salina, Kansas. Earnest J. Jones Jr., a Black man, and Taryn K. Dechant were both fatally shot. Two children were present at the scene but were unharmed.

Investigators identified two people known to the victims as suspects. Terrence J. Watson was arrested as the primary suspect and charged with the murders. Anna Louise Hartman was taken into custody as an alleged accomplice. Reports indicated personal relationships may have figured into the killings. Watson later pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 15 years; Hartman pleaded guilty and received a 5-year sentence.
