A dispute over a drug deal turned fatal in the early morning hours of September 15, 2023, when 28-year-old Travis Gilbert was shot and killed inside a Fort Wayne home. Police responded about 1:20 a.m. to a shooting in the 2000 block of St. Mary’s Avenue and found Gilbert dead; the Allen County Coroner confirmed a gunshot wound to the chest and ruled the death a homicide. Gilbert’s father, Steve Gilbert, suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound during the incident.

Davis struck Gilbert with a pistol, which fell to the floor and was picked up by Gilbert’s father. A gunfight followed as Davis and Fuentes fled, continuing to fire; Gilbert was shot in the back of the home and later died in the kitchen while his father cradled him. A third man, Robert Ward, had arranged the deal and waited outside in an SUV.

Officers later identified and apprehended the three suspects after a vehicle pursuit; arrests were made that night and the next morning. Does anyone have information about where Travis spent his time or knew him personally?
