Eric Phillips, 37, was found shot multiple times in the parking lot of the McConnell Family Boathouse near the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. His body was discovered in the early morning after the shooting occurred between about 3:30 and 3:45 a.m. on June 23, 2018.

Surveillance video shows Phillips arriving in a red Mustang with a woman identified as Tastacia Parker. Two other individuals approached; a man in a long-sleeved white t-shirt and blue jeans fired at least one shot. Phillips tried to flee but collapsed; the woman and the two other people left the scene. Investigators linked the shooter to 24-year-old Elbert Briggs through social media images and ballistics tied casings and the recovered projectile to a Sccy 9mm. Phone records placed Briggs and Parker near the boathouse at the time and showed they traveled together after the shooting.

Briggs was charged with murder and later convicted; Parker was later charged, then pleaded to assisting a criminal and perjury. Did anyone in the South Bend area see the red Mustang or those individuals around the East Race that night?
