David Lawton, 30
IN, St. Joseph Co.
David was shot multiple times by his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, Arden Balmer.
Believing them to be romantically involved, Balmer lured his friend, David, and his ex-girlfriend to his parent’s lake house. Balmer then fatally shot David and held his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint.
After a lengthy standoff, Balmer was shot in the shoulder by police. Balmer had a history of abusive relationship behavior; a previous victim had an order of protection against him.
Balmer was found guilty of murder and criminal confinement and was sentenced to 64 years in prison.
