Fernando Fernandez Reyes, 20, was one of two young men found fatally shot outside a residence on North Elizabeth Street in Angola, Indiana, in the early hours of October 9, 2022. Angola police officers responded to reports of gunshots shortly after 1:00 a.m. and discovered Reyes and 23-year-old Francisco Javier Velazquez Martinez dead at the scene. The deaths were later ruled a double homicide.
Born in Angola on November 16, 2001, Reyes graduated from Prairie Heights High School and was a father to a young daughter named Ari. He enjoyed skateboarding, basketball, working out, video games, anime, and music, especially underground rap and Spanish music. The killing prompted an immediate homicide investigation.
Investigators identified 19-year-old Bryar Everett Wolfe of Fremont, Indiana, as the suspect. Police encountered Wolfe near the scene about 5:30 a.m.; exchanges of gunfire occurred between Wolfe and officers, and Wolfe was struck and later pronounced dead at a hospital. The Indiana State Police are handling the investigation and the incident is under review by the county prosecutor.
