Malik Balderos, 21, was fatally shot on the evening of October 22, 2020, near the Waterford Glen Apartments in South Bend, Indiana. The shooting also killed 20-year-old Ricky Kinds Jr. Investigators determined the double homicide was gang-related and driven by retaliation: members of a rival West Side faction targeted East Side affiliates, a group with which Balderos and Kinds were associated.

Police believe the attack was provoked by a social media video posted shortly before the shooting that showed individuals, including Balderos and Kinds, making gestures considered disrespectful by the rival group. Investigators say as many as eight different weapons were fired during the ambush. Authorities have identified several people connected to the incident; one primary suspect, Tyrik Rayford of Sauk Village, Illinois, was arrested and later convicted in connection with the killings.

Does anyone have information about Malik’s activities or who might have seen the group near Waterford Glen Apartments that evening?
