Ricky Joe Pelmear was 40 and living in Fort Wayne, Indiana, when he was shot and killed during an evening attack inside a Madison Street home on August 30, 2018. Gunfire that night also wounded two other people; police arrived to a chaotic scene and opened an investigation into the fatal shooting.

A short time later, the suspect was identified as 17-year-old Shane Patrick Maree. Maree’s mother turned him in to authorities, leading to his arrest. Prosecutors waived him into adult court on a charge of murder; Maree pleaded guilty and later received a prison sentence for Pelmear’s death.

The case record describes the arrest, guilty plea, and sentencing but does not include details about motive or the other injured victims’ conditions. Does anyone have information about the events on Madison Street that night or about Ricky’s life in Fort Wayne?
