Terrance Miles, 36, was found shot to death in a grassy area in the 900 block of Francis Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the early morning hours of May 19, 2017. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene; his death was ruled the 11th homicide in Allen County that year. Miles was an assistant football coach at North Side High School, an administrative assistant at Forest Park Elementary School, and a graduate of North Side who played football at Indiana State University and for the Fort Wayne Freedom.

Investigators developed two suspects, Henry Underwood and Jaevin Bowie, after surveillance footage placed them near the scene. Court documents say Miles confronted the men as they were breaking into a car and told them he had no money before he was shot. Bowie was initially charged with assisting a criminal, later charged with murder, and ultimately agreed to a plea deal on lesser charges and to testify against Underwood. Underwood was tried on murder and attempted robbery charges but was acquitted; the credibility of Bowie, who had lied to investigators and tampered with the murder weapon, was cited as significant in that outcome.

The community mourned Miles and his family established the Terrance Miles Youth Initiative to continue his work mentoring young people.
