Tyrese Morris-Cross was 21 when he was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on May 20, 2021, in the 200 block of North Ridgeland Avenue in Michigan City, Indiana. He and another man were outside a residence when an SUV drove past and an occupant opened fire, striking both men. Morris-Cross was taken first to Franciscan Health Michigan City Hospital and then airlifted to Memorial Hospital in South Bend, where he died of his wounds. The other man, 23, survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Michigan City detectives spent months interviewing witnesses, reviewing video surveillance, and processing evidence. In December 2021 authorities arrested 30-year-old Amond Nixon of Michigan City and charged him with murder in the death of Morris-Cross and four counts of attempted murder after investigators concluded four other people had been targeted. Nixon was also charged as a serious violent felon in possession of a firearm; a one million dollar cash bond was set. Police leadership publicly appealed to the community for help in breaking the cycle of violence.

Did anyone in the area see the SUV or the shooting on May 20, 2021, who hasn’t already spoken with investigators?
