In the early morning hours of February 26, 2025, gunfire at a family gathering in the 700 block of Division Street in Mishawaka, Indiana, left 23-year-old Asia Phillip dead. Asia, a psychology student at IUSB who planned to attend law school, was inside a silver Chevy Impala with 23-year-old Tyrees Brown when shots were fired. Both were taken to a local hospital; Tyrees survived after surgery and was listed in stable condition, while Asia, who was pregnant, succumbed to her injuries.

Police detained 45-year-old Narles Brown Sr. at the scene. After an interview with the Mishawaka Police Department Major Crimes Unit, he was charged with the murder of Asia Phillip and the attempted murder of Tyrees Brown, with an additional firearm enhancement. Authorities said they believe the shooting was an isolated incident and that there is no further threat to the community.

If anyone knew Asia or has information about the events on Division Street that night, please come forward to assist the investigation.
