Dominique Nina Herron, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene in Mishawaka, Indiana after at least one gunshot wound to her back on September 6, 2020. The confrontation began at Smith’s Bar, where Herron had been with her cousin and a friend, Jeanette Williams. An altercation with other patrons spilled into the parking lot and gunfire was reported from individuals unrelated to the initial dispute.

After leaving the bar, someone called 1:34 a.m. to report a shooting victim in a vehicle at Logan Street and Mishawaka Avenue. First responders found Herron inside the car; witnesses and medical personnel could not save her. Investigators later found a handgun in the grass on the west side of Logan Street and witnesses said they saw Williams run to that area and hear her say she was going to jail for this as the gun was allegedly tossed.

Jeanette Williams, 24, was arrested and charged with reckless homicide (Level 5 felony), criminal recklessness (Level 6 felony) and a felony firearm enhancement. She gave conflicting statements about whether Herron was shot while leaving the bar or if her gun accidentally discharged from the vehicle window and denied firing the weapon inside the vehicle or intentionally disposing of it.

If anyone was at Smith’s Bar that night or saw the vehicle at Logan Street and Mishawaka Avenue, what did you see?
