In the early morning hours of Sunday, March 29, 2026, the life of 25-year-old Keshawn Almond was tragically cut short in Evansville, Indiana. The incident unfolded at the Neighbor's Keeper apartments located in the 1200 block of South Lincoln Park Drive, off South Weinbach Avenue. A 911 call alerted police to the sound of gunfire, and upon their arrival, officers discovered Almond deceased at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound to his head.
The investigation into the homicide
quickly pointed to two brothers, Jacquese and Jacquez Crosby, as the primary suspects. Within days of the shooting, authorities issued a murder warrant for 28-year-old Jacquese Crosby, who was believed to be the one who pulled the trigger. Investigators began an earnest search for him, canvassing the area for witnesses and any available video footage to piece together the events that led to the fatal encounter. While the motive for the shooting was not immediately released, the focus of law enforcement was to locate and apprehend the individuals responsible for Almond's death.
Nearly a month later, on April 23, 2026, a significant development was made in the case with the arrest of 30-year-old Jacquez Crosby, the elder of the two brothers. He was taken into custody and charged with murder in connection with Keshawn Almond's death. However, his younger brother, Jacquese Crosby, remained at large. The Evansville Police Department continued to ask for the public's assistance in locating him, cautioning that he should be considered dangerous. The investigation remained ongoing as authorities worked to bring the second suspect to justice and provide answers for a community shaken by the violent loss of a young man.
