On February 26, 2020, a shooting at a home on Barnhart Avenue in Fort Wayne left three people wounded and two dead. Brooke Judith Wendel, 23, a manager at Pro-Tow, was shot in the head and later died at a hospital; her death was ruled a homicide. Mon Ong, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the chest. A third person, 27-year-old Meng Kem, survived gunshot wounds to the neck and head.

Police described the incident as a robbery that turned deadly during what was reported as a drug deal gone wrong. Three men — Kyaw H. Hlang, 24, Jamesley Paul, 23, and Kerwins Louis, 21 — were arrested and charged in connection with the deaths and the robbery. Court action had begun by late 2020, including a guilty plea by Kyaw H. Hlang and later convictions for Kerwins Louis.
