On April 11, 2023, at about 2:23 a.m., police in Fort Wayne, Indiana, responded to a shooting in the parking lot of the West Wind Apartments at 2107 Point West Drive. Two people were found with gunshot wounds; 19-year-old Tyreece Corion Vachon, a Black male, and a female companion were taken to a hospital. Vachon died of multiple gunshot wounds, ruled a homicide by the Allen County Coroner’s Office; the female victim survived.

Vachon had played football and basketball at North Side High School and ran a clothing brand called Fear None. A memorial and balloon release for Vachon at McCormick Park on April 12, 2023, was followed by another shooting that killed one person and injured three more. The Fort Wayne Police Department has said a person of interest is cooperating, but no arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Tyreece or has information about the April 11 shooting, please contact investigators.
