Alyyus Jacobi Michael Enoexpettiford was 16 when he was shot and killed in South Bend, Indiana, on June 14, 2024. A Riley High School student who enjoyed skateboarding and anime, he was found in a backyard on the 500 block of Victoria Street after officers responded to reports of a shooting around 5:45 p.m. He suffered at least one gunshot wound to the head, was taken to Memorial Hospital, and was pronounced dead.

Investigators later identified 19-year-old Derrick Myles as a suspect, saying the shooting followed a verbal altercation after Myles allegedly believed Enoexpettiford had thrown rocks at a relative’s home. On July 11, murder charges and a firearm enhancement were filed and initially sealed; the warrant was later unsealed when efforts to locate Myles were unsuccessful. Myles surrendered to South Bend police on August 25 and was taken to the St. Joseph County Jail.

Does anyone in the South Bend area have information about Alyyus, his activities that afternoon, or the events on Victoria Street that could help clarify what happened?
