Hakeem Omer Cage, 23, was shot and killed outside an apartment building at The Summit at Ridgewood Apartments in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the early morning hours of December 2, 2020. Police located him around 4 a.m. with a gunshot wound to the head; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. He had graduated from South Side High School and studied psychology at Indiana Tech. Originally from Kankakee, Illinois, he moved to Fort Wayne in 2012 and was remembered for his love of basketball and music.

According to the investigation, Hakeem had been at a party that night where he displayed a substantial amount of cash. Reports say a 17-year-old, Javon Thomas, ambushed Hakeem as he walked to his apartment with his girlfriend, shot him multiple times, and took the money while a cousin, Korta Thomas, allegedly drove the getaway vehicle. Javon Thomas was arrested in connection with the shooting on December 23, 2020, and later entered a guilty plea and received a prison sentence.

Did anyone who knew Hakeem or who was at the party that night see or hear anything that could add detail to what happened?
