Motorcycle ride to honor 19-year-old shot, killed in 2014

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A motorcycle ride this weekend will honor a 19-year-old shot and killed outside a Lawrence gas station in January 2014.

Kyle Jobin went to the Marathon gas station at 56th & Shadeland for a pack of cigarettes. One person saw four people surrounding him and his car. That witness did not have a cell phone, so he went to find help. By the time he found a police officer and returned to the gas station, Jobin was slumped over his steering wheel. He had been shot in the head.

The people responsible for killing Jobin have never been caught.

His family said he was a happy kid, who always had a smile on his face. He was going to school at Vincennes University for land surveying. He had purchased his own motorcycle right before he was killed.

This is the third year his parents have organized a motorcycle ride in his honor. The money raised will go toward a scholarship in Jobin’s name to be given to a student at Vincennes University.

They do it to help keep their son’s name stay alive and to help bring him justice.

“We know how special he was and we want to share that with the world,” his dad Joseph Jobin said.

Anyone with information about what happened to Kyle Jobin is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.

If you would like to participate in the motorcycle ride, it’s on Saturday. Registration is at 9:30 a.m. at Grill 2 in McCordsville.
