Earlier today, the Vermont State Police announced the discovery of the bodies of Jahim Solomon and Eric White, both 21, in a northern Vermont woodland. The autopsies indicate they were shot in the head, classifying their deaths as homicides. The State Police continues to follow leads, while also urging the public to provide any relevant information, as reported by CBS News.
Solomon, a resident of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and White, originally from Chicopee, Massachusetts, were last seen traveling through Vermont towns, including Burlington, Lowell, Morrisville, and Stowe, as Hoodline reported.
Details about why Solomon and White were in Vermont or the reason behind their murders remain undisclosed. The Vermont State Police are determined in their quest to discover the truth, according to WWLP.
Despite the bodies being discovered on Wednesday, the Chief Medical Examiner's Office did not perform the autopsies until Thursday. They have confirmed Solomon's death as a homicide due to multiple gunshot wounds to the head, and White's death a homicide due to a single gunshot wound, as per WHDH's report.
The Vermont State Police continue to urge the public to assist in the investigation by providing any potentially helpful information. They further emphasize the value of community involvement in understanding the events leading to Solomon's and White's unfortunate deaths.
