On the night of June 17, 2022, in Mishawaka, Indiana, 18-year-old Tychius Derrickson was found shot and killed outside an apartment building after a violent encounter that began inside a Pin Oak apartment. Court documents describe a complex relationship between Derrickson, 19-year-old Kyndall Dickerson, and 18-year-old Nashawn Stephens; Dickerson was romantically involved with both men and had arranged for Derrickson to be at her apartment while also telling Stephens she would leave a key under the mat.

According to the documents, Stephens forced his way into the apartment, pistol-whipped Derrickson in the bedroom, dragged him outside and shot him. Dickerson initially denied knowing the attacker but later acknowledged her involvement with Stephens. Both Stephens and Dickerson were arrested in August 2022; Stephens was charged with murder and a firearm enhancement, and Dickerson faced charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder and assisting a criminal. Stephens was convicted of murder and sentenced to 75 years in prison; Dickerson pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and received a prison term.

Are there details about the evening at the Pin Oak apartments or witnesses who haven’t been heard from that could help clarify what happened?
