Skylar Maupin was 21 when he was killed the evening of January 17, 2019, in Bloomington, Indiana, during a planned drug transaction that turned into a robbery. Maupin, a Seymour High School graduate and Ivy Tech student in Bloomington, and another man had arranged to sell marijuana to two men from Fort Wayne, identified as Jamarius Turnage, 25, and Cleodis Collins Jr., 24. The pair decided to rob them instead; an altercation in a bedroom produced multiple gunshots and Maupin sustained several wounds to his torso.

After the initial shooting the suspects fled, and one of them fired further rounds into the apartment’s front window, wounding the other seller in the shoulder. Maupin was taken to Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital, where he died. Turnage and Collins were stopped a short time later in Martinsville in a red passenger car; officers found a handgun in the car and the two were arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, and robbery.

Does anyone have information about Maupin, the apartment on North Walnut Street, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
