James W. Mischler, 32, was shot to death around 12:35 a.m. on July 24, 2024 in the 1300 block of North 14th Street in Vincennes. Known as Weezy, Mischler was described as a laborer who loved cars and family and was remembered for his kindness and sense of humor. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and died at the scene.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Calvin James Wittmer as the primary suspect after a witness said the shooting followed a day of prolonged arguments between Wittmer and Mischler. Wittmer was arrested at a residence on Canbro Street where officers found a 9mm Glock with an extended magazine hidden under a basement couch; the firearm was described as matching the weapon used in the shooting. Wittmer was charged with murder, jailed without bond, entered a preliminary not guilty plea, and has counsel; a trial date was set for October 15, 2024.

Is there anyone who knew James or saw activity in the North 14th Street area that night who can provide information?
