FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - Three people shot to death during an apparent Thanksgiving home invasion have been identified.

The Allen County Coroner's office on Sunday identified the deceased as 20-year-old Colton D. Messmer, 23-year-old Joevonn M. Johnson and 21-year-old Tracey A. Andrews.

Homicide was ruled a cause of death in each case. All three lived in Fort Wayne.

Officers called to the home on the south side of Fort Wayne about 10:30 p.m. Thursday found the three dead inside. Two other males were also wounded during the shooting.

Police say 22-year-old Kameron J. Joyner was arrested in connection with the attack. He was being held at the Allen County Jail on five preliminary counts of aggravated battery.

Police said they were looking for another 22-year-old man considered a person of interest.
