Jason Underwood was 27 when he was found shot to death on August 13, 2017, on a boat ramp near the 1800 block of East California Road, close to the Purdue Fort Wayne campus. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds; investigators later determined he was struck eleven times by rounds from a .40-caliber pistol.

Ballistics testing by the Indiana State Police Laboratory linked shell casings recovered at the scene to a pistol seized after agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives identified the firearm in November 2017. In 2021 a witness told the FBI and the Fort Wayne Police Department about a confrontation at a hookah lounge that allegedly involved a man named Fargo Bennett. The witness said Bennett sought retaliation for the death of another man and that a group including Bennett and Underwood drove to the boat ramp where the shooting occurred.

On April 22, 2024, Fargo Bennett was arrested during a traffic stop and charged with murder in Allen Superior Court. Does anyone have information about Underwood’s last movements or the confrontation at the hookah lounge?
