Drake Amir Wells was 21 and a resident of Fort Wayne when he was found fatally shot in a yard near the 3500 block of Congress Avenue on the evening of Sunday, September 30, 2018. Police had been called to a nearby home after reports of a shooting and found 28-year-old Nathaniel Nix II with multiple gunshot wounds; Nix was taken to a hospital in critical condition. A witness reported seeing another man fleeing the scene, and a K-9 search of the area located Wells’s body.

The coroner ruled Wells’s death a homicide, the 36th in Allen County that year. The Fort Wayne Police Department opened an investigation, but there have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects, and the homicide remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Drake, saw activity around Congress Avenue that night, or has information, please come forward.
