In the early hours of December 11, 2023, at about 12:10 a.m., police responded to the 1600 block of North O’Brien Street on South Bend’s west side and found 34-year-old Isiah Siggers suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite emergency response, his injuries were fatal and the South Bend Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit has classified the death as a homicide.

Investigators described the shooting as an isolated incident and said it was not believed to be connected to a second recent fatal shooting in the city. As detectives work to reconstruct what happened, no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. Family, friends and neighbors held a vigil in the days after the killing.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the South Bend Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit.
