On the evening of April 18, 2022, 28-year-old Civon Dominique Lee Green was shot and killed on 27th Street in South Bend, Indiana. Residents reported hearing gunfire around 8:30 p.m.; witnesses saw a silver car driven by Green pursued by a red SUV toward Northside Boulevard, with another shot heard near Nuner Elementary School. Police found two vehicles stopped in the street and Green lying between them with a fatal gunshot wound to the abdomen. A passerby tried to help, but Green was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the red SUV was identified as Green’s 27-year-old girlfriend, Marqisha Monee Thomas. Thomas gave differing accounts to investigators, first saying someone else had shot Green and later saying Green shot himself during a struggle for her 9mm handgun, which she said had been on the passenger seat. Investigators recovered three shell casings in and around the passenger seat; an autopsy found no evidence Green’s hands were on the weapon and that the wound was from close range but not a contact wound.

Anyone who witnessed the chase or the shooting, or who knew Green or Thomas, is asked to share what they remember about that evening.
