On the night of July 22, 2017, 19-year-old Tyon Jerrell Woods was fatally shot in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Police say Woods and another man were sitting in a car in the 1200 block of Lillie Street when gunfire erupted just before 11:50 p.m. The other wounded man left the vehicle and fled toward Lewis and Lillie; Woods tried to drive west on East Lewis Street but crashed into a parked car in the 1100 block. He was found in the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The Allen County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Woods was a 2016 graduate of New Haven High School who had attended Northrop High School for three years and was remembered as jolly, respectful, and caring. He had played football and basketball and had been on the roster at Davenport University after attending Grand Rapids Community College. Fort Wayne Police opened a homicide investigation; no arrests or suspects were publicly identified.

Did anyone in the Fort Wayne area see activity around Lillie or East Lewis streets that night or have information about this shooting?
