Luis Hernandez-Acosta was 16 and a student at Washington High School when he was shot dead in the 400 block of South Carlisle Street in South Bend, Indiana. The shooting occurred just after 1 a.m. on July 10, 2023, after an arranged confrontation with another teenager. Witnesses who had been with Luis said they heard a phone call in which someone threatened to kill him before the shooting.

Police found Luis with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses described two people dressed in black firing at him, and a ShotSpotter report indicated two different firearms discharged a total of 16 rounds. Investigators linked two teens to the case through surveillance footage and cellphone data that placed both in the area; one of the phones had recent calls to Luis. The case remains under investigation by the South Bend Violent Crimes Unit.

If anyone who knew Luis or was in the area that night has information, please come forward.
