On the morning of Saturday, June 18, 2022, 28-year-old Jamie Binns of Niles, Michigan, was found dead from apparent gunshot wounds in South Bend, Indiana. A second woman, 29-year-old Samantha Lawson, also of Niles, was discovered deceased at the same scene. Both victims were located inside a vehicle in the parking lot of the Laurel Woods Apartments.

Investigators traced the killings to 17-year-old Rease Pence after court documents said Pence had asked Binns for a ride from Niles to the apartment complex. Surveillance video showed Binns’ vehicle arriving shortly before gunshots were fired, and two people left the vehicle and walked away after the shots. Digital evidence pulled from the victims’ phones and Pence’s iCloud account — including a search for Do latex gloves leave fingerprints — and a witness statement that Pence confessed to shooting both women were cited in the case. In October 2022 Pence was charged as an adult with two counts of murder and a firearm enhancement.

Does anyone have information about Jamie’s last movements in Niles or who she may have been driving that day?
