Shortly after midnight on October 17, 2021, officers from the Mishawaka Police Department were sent to a home in the 600 block of East 10th Street after reports of a shooting. A neighbor who was putting his daughter to bed heard noises he first thought were knocks, then realized the sounds were gunfire coming from the house next door. Investigators concluded a verbal altercation had occurred inside the residence just before shots were fired.

First responders found 42-year-old Jarvis Redding with a gunshot wound to the abdomen and he was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Police initially said they had no suspect information to release. No arrests or convictions connected to Redding’s death have been reported, and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Jarvis, please share tips with the Mishawaka Police Department.
