On the evening of March 3, 2024, officers in Fort Wayne, Indiana, responded to reports of a shooting in the 5000 block of Roberta Drive. First responders found 64-year-old David Lee Norris, a Black male, with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene; the Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the chest and the manner of death homicide.

A female victim was also located at the same residence; she was transported to a local hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. The incident was investigated as a double shooting by the Fort Wayne Police Department, the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office, and the coroner. Homicide detectives later arrested 66-year-old Kenneth Ray Hogan Jr., who was charged with murder and aggravated battery. Court documents and police reports say Hogan told investigators he was upset because he believed he had been set up, which allegedly precipitated the encounter.

Anyone with information about Norris, the March 3 incident on Roberta Drive, or who may have witnessed events that evening is asked to come forward.
