Around 2:30 a.m. Jan. 4, Kyle Jobin, 19, McCordsville, stopped at a Marathon gas station at 7013 E. 56th St. after spending several hours at a friend’s apartment watching movies, according to Lawrence police. He parked at a gas pump.
When Jobin returned to his 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible, police said, four men got out of a white SUV, surrounded Jobin’s car and tried to open the doors, a witness told police.
The witness, suspecting the men meant to do Jobin harm, left the gas station and flagged down a Lawrence police officer a short distance away. When the officer reached the gas station, he found Jobin suffering from a gunshot wound to his head. He was taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital, where he died the next day.
Lawrence Police detectives have asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-TIPS (8477) or at www.crimetips.org. Crime Stoppers tipsters may be eligible to collect a cash reward.
Jobin, a Mt. Vernon High School graduate, was home on Christmas break from Vincennes University at the time he was murdered, according to his obituary. He was studying land survey management at Vincennes and was scheduled to graduate in May.
A candlelight vigil commemorating Jobin, organized by family members, is being held at 6 p.m. Friday at the scene of the incident, 7013 E. 56th St., Lawrence.Amb. Adam H. Sterling, Department of State

Few studies have focused attention in surveying tick-borne diseases in the Brazilian Amazon region. A total of 129 blood samples were collected from dogs living in the Brazilian eastern Amazon. Seventy-two samples from dogs from rural areas of 19 municipalities and 57 samples from urban stray dogs from Santarém municipality were collected. Serum samples were submitted to Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) with antigens ofBabesia canis vogeli, Ehrlichia canis, and six Rickettsia species. The frequency of dogs containing anti-B. canis vogeli, anti-E. canis, and anti-Rickettsia spp. antibodies was 42.6%, 16.2%, and 31.7%, respectively. Anti-B. canis vogeli antibodies were detected in 59.6% of the urban dogs, and in 29.1% of the rural dogs (P < 0.05). For E. canis, seroprevalence was similar among urban (15.7%) and rural (16.6%) dogs. ForRickettsia spp., rural dogs presented significantly higher (P < 0.05) prevalence (40.3%) than urban animals (21.1%). This first study on tick-borne pathogens in dogs from the Brazilian eastern Amazon indicates that dogs are exposed to several agents, such asBabesia organisms, mostly in the urban area; Spotted Fever group Rickettsia organisms, mostly in the rural area; andEhrlichia organisms, in dogs from both areas studied.
Ehrliquiose canina e babesiose canina são as doenças parasitárias transmitidas por carrapatos de maior prevalência em cães do Brasil. Poucos estudos pesquisaram doenças transmitidas por carrapatos na região da Amazônia brasileira. Um total de 129 amostras de sangue foram colhidas de cães da Amazônia oriental brasileira. Setenta e dois cães eram de áreas rurais de 19 municípios do Estado do Pará, e 57 amostras foram colhidas de cães errantes vadios da área urbana do município de Santarém-PA. As amostras de soro foram submetidas ao ensaio de imunofluorescência indireta, com antígenos deBabesia canis vogeli, Ehrlichia canis, e seis espécies de Rickettsia. A frequência de cães com anticorpos anti-B. canis vogeli, anti-E. canis, e anti-Rickettsia spp. foi de 42,6%, 16,2% e 31,7%, respectivamente. Anticorpos anti-B. canis vogeli foram detectados em 59,6% dos cães urbanos, e em 29,1% dos cães rurais (P < 0.05). Para E. canis, a soroprevalência foi parecida entre os cães urbanos (15,7%) e rurais (16,6%). Para Rickettsia spp., cães rurais apresentaram prevalência (P < 0.05) significativamente maior (40,3%) do que os cães urbanos (21,1%). Esse primeiro estudo sobre agentes transmitidos por carrapatos entre cães da Amazônia oriental brasileira indica que estes animais estão expostos a vários agentes. Estes incluem Babesia principalmente na área urbana, Riquétsias do grupo da Febre Maculosa principalmente nas áreas rurais, e Erliquia em cães de ambas as áreas, rural e urbana.
Tick-borne diseases have been increasingly studied in Brazil, but there are still many unexplored places, especially in the Amazon region. Canine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease of domestic and wild canids characterized by fever, depression, and anaemia (KUTTLER, 1988). Previous parasitological and serological studies carried out in Brazil have shown that canine babesiosis due to Babesia canis is distributed among different states with rates of seropositivity ranging from 1.9 to 66.9% in Minas Gerais (RIBEIRO et al., 1990; RODRIGUES et al., 2002; BASTOS et al., 2004; SOARES et al., 2006), 35.7% in Paraná (TRAPP et al., 2006), 5.2% in Rio de Janeiro (O'DWYER et al., 2001), and 10.3% in São Paulo (DELL'PORTO et al., 1993). In addition, the disease was also reported in the state of Mato Grosso, where it was molecularly confirmed asB. canis vogeli (SPOLIDORIO et al., 2011).
Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis, caused by Ehrlichia canis, is the most important tick-borne disease of dogs in Brazil. Currently,Ehrlichia canis is the only Ehrlichia species that has been isolated in cell culture from vertebrates in South America. A preliminary investigation for Ehrlichia species in the northern and southeastern regions of Brazil failed to detect Ehrlichia DNA inAmblyomma ticks, humans, dogs, capybaras, and febrile human blood samples (LABRUNA et al., 2007a). In contrast, ehrlichial DNA compatible with Ehrlichia chaffeensis,Ehrlichia ewingii, or an agent closely related toEhrlichia ruminantium were recently reported in animal blood samples from southeastern Brazil (MACHADO et al., 2006; OLIVEIRA et al., 2009; WIDMER et al., 2011).
