Than Khai, 49, was found dead inside his Fort Wayne home on January 20, 2020, becoming the city’s third homicide that year. His residence was in the 3400 block of Senate Avenue near Hessen Cassel and McKinnie Avenue. An autopsy determined he died from a gunshot wound to the neck.

Investigators concluded the fatal shot was fired from outside the house, passing through the structure before striking Khai. That detail raised the possibility he may not have been the intended target and underscored the randomness of the violence. The motive remained unknown.

The case later went cold; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been made and the Fort Wayne Police Department has periodically asked the public for tips. Does anyone who lived in the neighborhood or who may have seen activity on January 20, 2020, have information to share?
