INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Text message records and interviews in court documents unsealed on Tuesday allege a man was lured into an Indianapolis couple’s prostitution scheme before being robbed and murdered in December.
Earon Ervin Jr., 31, was arrested and booked into the Marion County Jail on Monday on two counts of murder, one count of armed robbery and one count of robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, police and online jail records say. Those charges are in connection to the Dec. 1, 2020, shooting death of 46-year-old Adam Sayers.
Ervin’s girlfriend brought him to Community East Hospital around 4 a.m. Dec. 1 with a gunshot wound. When Indianapolis Metropolitan police talked to Ervin’s girlfriend, they learned the couple had come to the hospital from an address on Wallace Avenue at the Glen Ridge Manor at Indy Town apartments, near East 21st Street and North Emerson Avenue., court documents say.
