On February 26, 2024, officers found 21-year-old Black male Divoryan Lawan Warren-Hill dead in the basement of a home on the 3000 block of Lynn Avenue in Fort Wayne. His body had been concealed behind a chair and covered with clothing and carpet. The Allen County Coroner’s Office determined he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and a stab wound to the neck, ruling the manner of death a homicide.

Investigators determined Warren-Hill had likely been dead for several days; his last known sighting was around February 20. Evidence at the scene — including shell casings and a bloody knife — and witness statements pointed toward a suspect who intermittently lived at the Lynn Avenue home. Digital evidence and witness accounts implicated 19-year-old Leland Hairston, identified in some reports as the victim’s brother, and officers arrested Hairston during a March 6 traffic stop in Fort Wayne.

Warren-Hill’s family had already endured another recent loss when his sister was killed in a police-involved shooting in November 2023. Does anyone have information about Warren-Hill’s movements in late February or about the Lynn Avenue residence that could help clarify what happened?
