Seventeen-year-old Darnell A. Tobar II was fatally shot on June 19, 2019, in the 100 block of Woodhill Lane in South Bend, Indiana. A student at Washington High School, Tobar was described as someone who loved family, friends, basketball, and fishing; his death prompted local grief and an immediate homicide investigation.

A day after the shooting a 16-year-old male from South Bend turned himself in to the St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit. He cooperated with investigators and was arrested on preliminary suspicion of reckless homicide before being detained at the St. Joseph County Juvenile Justice Center. The prosecutor’s office reported the initial probe pointed to reckless handling of a firearm by juveniles as the cause of the shooting, but at the time of those reports formal charges had not yet been filed and the matter remained under review.

Does anyone have information about Darnell, the events on Woodhill Lane that night, or the subsequent legal outcome?
