Nicholas James Hennan, 36, was found with a gunshot wound inside a crashed vehicle at the Fairfield Gardens Apartments on Fort Wayne’s south side on August 3, 2017. He was pronounced dead at the scene and the Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Police say Hennan had gone to the apartment complex to buy a gun. Two men who were 18 at the time, Tavon Jackson and Carlos Efigenio, later told investigators they had planned to rob him after arranging the sale. Jackson said he was in the front passenger seat and gave the gun to Efigenio in the back seat. Efigenio told police that Hennan grabbed the gun and it went off, fatally striking him; both men fled the scene after the shooting.

Jackson and Efigenio were arrested in March 2019 and eventually pleaded guilty; on sentencing they received lengthy prison terms. Did anyone who knew Hennan or who was at Fairfield Gardens on August 3, 2017, see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened?
