Domenik Jamaull ’D-Mo’ Briggs, 30, was shot in the back of the head in his South Bend home on the afternoon of October 6, 2022. Police found him in a residence in the 700 block of West Indiana Avenue and he died after being rushed to a hospital; an autopsy confirmed a gunshot wound to the back of the head.

Investigators say Briggs was at his home with several other people when the shooting occurred, but witnesses were largely uncooperative, which stalled the investigation for more than a year. New information in early 2024 identified 18-year-old Marquis Duncan as the primary suspect; Duncan was charged in January 2024 and arrested the next month. Court documents allege Briggs had been arguing with another man at the gathering and that the dispute related to a firearm that man had agreed weeks earlier to trade with Duncan.

Prosecutors later dismissed the case without prejudice after they could not locate a key witness and searched for a month; the family was consulted on that decision. The investigation remains open and no conviction has been recorded. Does anyone have information about that October 6, 2022 gathering or the people who were at the home on West Indiana Avenue?
