In the early morning hours of August 4, 2015, two men were found shot to death at a residence in the 2200 block of Perrine Street in Lafayette, Indiana. The victims were 46-year-old Terry L. Smith Jr. and 36-year-old Aaron Tyrone Hunter Jr. Officers responded after reports of gunfire around 3:50 a.m.; both men died of their wounds and investigators described the incident as a homicide linked to an attempted robbery.

Within days police arrested two suspects. On August 6, 2015, 19-year-old Jacob Guffey was taken into custody. On August 12, 2015, 33-year-old Matthew Alan Oertel was arrested and charged with two counts of murder, two counts of felony murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery. Court filings later show Oertel pleaded guilty to two counts of felony murder and one count of being a serious violent felon in possession of a firearm and received a 55-year sentence.

If anyone knew Terry Smith Jr., his routines, or was in that Lafayette neighborhood on the night of August 4, 2015, please share information that might help clarify what happened.
