Detectives tracked Wilson to a home in the 3200 block of Byrkit Street, where he initially refused to surrender, police said in a news release. After a short time, Wilson gave up.

Friends remembered Jaffke, a 2003 Whiteland High School graduate, as a dedicated musician who was a vocalist and guitarist in several local bands, including Two O’clock Twilight.

He worked for the Papa John’s store at 3915 S. Madison Avenue. The person who ordered the pizza reported the shooting and was not considered a suspect.
