On December 30, 2018, 11-year-old Jayzon Blackwell, his 12-year-old brother Javon Blackwell Jr., and their 42-year-old father, Javon Blackwell Sr., were found shot to death inside their home on South Gallatin Street in Marion, Indiana. A relative discovered the scene and called authorities. The two boys had been visiting their father for the holidays.

Jayzon was remembered as a vibrant fifth-grader who loved drawing video game characters; his school desk became a memorial covered in cards. Investigators recovered suspected narcotics at the home. Authorities said the father was the intended target of a break-in and the children were not supposed to be there.

A traffic stop nearly two weeks later produced information that led to arrests. Lemere Joseph Jones and Demetrius Jackson were charged with three counts of murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and armed robbery; Brittany Drake was charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Jones and Jackson were also implicated in an earlier November 2018 homicide. Does anyone have information about Jayzon, his brothers, or the events around South Gallatin Street that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
