Elijah Torres was 18 when he was killed in the early hours of March 1, 2021, in a South Bend home on Liston Street. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds just inside the back door and later died at a local hospital.

The shooting followed a domestic dispute at the house where Torres was visiting his girlfriend, who lived there with her 20-year-old brother, Ernest Lamont Clark Jr. A physical fight between Torres and the girlfriend prompted Clark to intervene; accounts diverge after that point. The girlfriend says she heard gunshots after stepping outside and saw Torres near the back door as her brother fled. Clark told police he shot in self-defense after encountering Torres allegedly armed with a large knife; investigators later found a large knife on the girlfriend’s bed two rooms and a hallway away from the shooting location.

Clark was arrested and charged in the killing. The jury later resolved the case in Clark’s favor on May 13, 2021. Does anyone have additional information about the events inside the house that night or witnesses who haven’t been heard from?
