Joyce Ann Carwile was 59 when she was killed in her Fort Wayne, Indiana, home on March 19, 2021. The night before the shooting she called 911 after an argument with her husband, David Carwile. The next day an altercation escalated and David shot Joyce in the chest.

David Carwile, 56, testified at trial that he acted in self-defense and said Joyce had thrown a knife at him; he also said his hand shook because he had multiple sclerosis as he drew a gun he kept nearby. After the shooting he left the house and about an hour later was stopped by a Fort Wayne police officer. A squad car recording captured him saying he hoped she would die and asking the officer to take him downtown and lock him up.

An Allen County jury rejected the self-defense claim and found him guilty of murder and using a firearm in Joyce’s death; he was sentenced to 80 years in prison. If anyone knew Joyce or witnessed events around March 19, 2021, please share what you know.
