Selman Delic was 26 when he was found dead behind a building at Whispering Creek Apartments, 3200 Diplomat Drive in Fort Wayne, on the afternoon of January 27, 2021. A caller reported an unknown problem and officers arrived to find his body; medics pronounced him dead at the scene. The Allen County Coroner’s Office determined he died of a gunshot wound to the chest and ruled the death a homicide — the county’s third of that year.

Investigators say the shooting occurred around 2:34 p.m. in the rear of the apartment complex and believe it was a targeted ambush rather than a random act. Missing money is mentioned as a possible motive.
