On the evening of February 17, 2021, Anderson Retic, a 19-year-old Black male known to friends as Andy, was fatally shot while seated in a sedan at a Shell gas station near State Boulevard and Hobson Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Retic was accompanied by two other young men, Joshua Cooper and Jaylin Rice; Cooper was also killed at the scene and Rice survived with critical injuries and was taken to a hospital.

Surveillance footage recorded a red pickup truck whose driver argued with the group inside the convenience store, circled their vehicle in the lot, left briefly, then returned and fired into the sedan. Responding officers found the victims after the car had crashed into a snowbank a short distance down Hobson Road. Police identified and arrested 34-year-old Joseph Bossard as the shooter, who was charged with two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and a firearm enhancement.

Anyone who witnessed the events at the Shell that night, has dash or doorbell video from the area, or knew Anderson Retic is asked to come forward with information.
