Scott Reed Armstrong, 45, was shot and killed on the evening of December 2, 2025, at a gas station in the 400 block of East Washington Boulevard near Clay Street in Fort Wayne. Officers from the Fort Wayne Police Department arrived after reports of gunfire and found Armstrong unresponsive in the parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a trauma hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide due to the gunshot injuries.

Homicide detectives and crime scene technicians canvassed the area and identified a suspect within hours. Police arrested 34-year-old Domonique Drew during a traffic stop just blocks from the scene; Drew was preliminarily charged with murder and is reported to have admitted involvement, though no motive has been released. The case is with the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office as legal proceedings begin.

Armstrong was remembered by family in an obituary as someone who loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He is survived by his father, two sons, and several siblings and was preceded in death by his mother and grandparents.
