On the morning of June 19, 2020, 28-year-old Kenneth Jerome Frierson II was shot and killed in his bedroom at a home on Werling Drive in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A 22-year-old man, Trenton D. Fye, entered the home and shot Frierson multiple times. The gunfire alerted Frierson’s mother, who was in the house; as Fye left her son’s room he fired at her. She returned fire and struck Fye in the abdomen. Emergency responders found Kenneth Frierson deceased at the scene and Fye later was located with a gunshot wound.

Frierson was described by loved ones as a gentle giant and a devoted father to two children. He had recently obtained a CDL learner’s permit and was planning to provide for his family. The shooting prompted an investigation and charges were filed against Trenton D. Fye.
