On the early morning of May 5, 2026, 49-year-old Ali Gyi was found inside a home on the 4500 block of Bowser Avenue in Fort Wayne with a gunshot wound to the head. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene and the Allen County Coroner’s Office confirmed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the head.

Court documents say the shooting followed a card game in which Ya Sin, his wife, Gyi and at least one other person were present. Witnesses told investigators that Sin became enraged while drinking, allegedly directed his anger at his wife for sitting next to Gyi, and shot Gyi in the head. After the shooting, Sin reportedly forced his wife to leave with him and threatened to kill her and himself.

Fort Wayne police located and arrested 47-year-old Ya Sin on charges that include murder, kidnapping and resisting law enforcement while fleeing in a vehicle. The Homicide Unit, Crime Scene Unit and Air Support Unit were involved in processing the scene; an interpreter was needed to assist with witness interviews. Does anyone have information about that household or the people who were at the card game that night?
