Montana Miquel Lopez was a 22-year-old Ball State University student when he was fatally shot in his home in the 1300 block of West Abbott Street in Muncie, Indiana. On Friday night, June 18, 2021, he hosted a party that drew a police visit for noise. Shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday, June 19, 2021, officers returned for a report of a shooting and found Montana with a fatal gunshot wound to the neck; medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

A 15-year-old male was arrested after the shooting and taken to a juvenile detention center, but was later released and has not been formally charged in Montana’s death. Montana’s sister says several partygoers saw the teen shoot her brother and recorded the aftermath on their phones, and the family remains frustrated that no murder charges have been filed.

Does anyone who attended the party or who knew Montana have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
