Truvarus L. Giddens Jr. was 22 when he was found wounded inside a home on the 2500 block of Barr Street in Fort Wayne on Sunday, November 11, 2018. Police responded around 3:55 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital but died shortly after. The Allen County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from gunshot wounds.

Investigators said evidence, including several shell casings, was recovered in an alley north of the residence and believe the shooting occurred there. Reports note multiple bullet holes in the house, suggesting Giddens may have made his way indoors after being struck. His death was recorded as the 39th homicide in Allen County that year. Authorities asked the public for information but had not publicly identified suspects or announced arrests.
