Amanda Louise Hoglund was 22 when she was fatally shot on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A 2017 graduate of North Side High School, she worked at Truth Inc. Tattoo Shop and was remembered by friends and family as a free spirit who enjoyed time with loved ones and advocated against sex trafficking and abuse.

Investigators identified a suspect, and in July 2020 U.S. Marshals arrested 24-year-old Martrell Weaver in Mansfield, Ohio, in connection with the killing on Clarmarnic Drive. Weaver was on probation for other offenses at the time of the murder and was charged with Amanda’s death.

Weaver later pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to 50 years in prison by an Allen Superior Court judge. If anyone knew Amanda or has information about her life or the days leading up to June 24, 2020, please share what you know.
