Tyreaun Lee Watkins was 19 when he was fatally shot during a triple shooting in Muncie. The shooting occurred about 1 a.m. on July 19, 2026, near East 1st and South Ebright streets. Three young men were struck by gunfire; Watkins suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to a local hospital, then transferred to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where he died on July 22, 2026. The two other victims, an 18-year-old and a 22-year-old from Muncie, sustained leg wounds and were listed in stable condition.

Muncie police arrested 18-year-old Kristopher Hoskins and later charged him and another 18-year-old with three counts each of attempted murder and aggravated battery, plus one count of criminal recklessness. Hoskins told police he had fired his gun into the air at a party and didn’t know where the bullets would land. A witness later identified Hoskins and two others as armed shooters and placed them in locations that matched spent shell casings found at the scene.
