On the night of Wednesday, October 15, 2025, 18-year-old Dynasty Battle of Attica was found inside a North 9th Street residence in Lafayette with a gunshot wound. Officers arriving around 11 p.m. pronounced her dead at the scene; she was weeks shy of her nineteenth birthday.

Police identified 20-year-old Grace Fultz of Lafayette as the person who allegedly fired the weapon. Investigators recovered a small caliber pistol at the scene and have said there is no ongoing threat to the community. Tippecanoe County prosecutors charged Fultz with reckless homicide, involuntary manslaughter, criminal recklessness, three counts of pointing a firearm at another, and possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, indicating authorities view the shooting as resulting from reckless conduct rather than premeditated murder.

Few details have been released about what led to the shooting. Does anyone have information about Dynasty’s last hours or about the residence on North 9th Street that could help clarify what happened?
