James Tyler Stewart was 23 when he was found shot to death in South Bend, Indiana. On February 1, 2024, he was discovered inside a car near Brookfield Street and Fassnacht Avenue, having been shot multiple times.

Authorities arrested three men in connection with the killing: Marshawn Johnson, 23; Demarko Robinson, 23; and Jamir Johnson, 20. Robinson and Jamir Johnson were taken into custody; Marshawn Johnson was at large initially. All three had been released on bond. In June 2025 a judge dismissed the murder charges against all three; the reasons for that dismissal were not made public.

There has been no further public information about other suspects or additional arrests in the investigation. If anyone knew James Stewart or has information about the shooting near Brookfield and Fassnacht, please come forward.
