On the evening of December 4, 2020, 28-year-old Juwan Marquise Hamilton was shot in South Bend, Indiana. Indiana State Police troopers stopped a vehicle they observed being driven erratically near Michigan and Sample streets; Hamilton, the driver, fell out of the car with gunshot wounds. Troopers and a civilian rendered aid and he was taken to Memorial Hospital, where he later died. Investigators concluded the shooting occurred earlier in the 1300 block of Lyon Street and that Hamilton was attempting to drive himself to the hospital when stopped.

The St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit appealed for witnesses after numerous calls came from the Lyon Street area the night of the shooting. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. Hamilton’s family described him as a father who was close to his siblings and remembered for a contagious smile. A cash reward has been offered for anonymous tips that lead to an arrest.

Does anyone who was in the 1300 block of Lyon Street or near Michigan and Sample on December 4, 2020, have information that could help investigators?
