A domestic argument in a Fort Wayne hotel turned deadly on April 12, 2017, when 38-year-old Allen DeWayne Bolton Jr. was shot and killed in a room at the Ramada Inn on Washington Center Road. The shooting reportedly occurred after a gun fell out of a bag Bolton had shaken during an argument with his girlfriend, Natasha Reed. Reed then grabbed the firearm and shot Bolton in front of the couple’s 10-year-old son.

Bolton was remembered by friends and family as a United States Marine veteran with an outgoing spirit, a contagious laugh, and a dedication to his children. Reed was arrested after the shooting and charged in connection with Bolton’s death. Is there anyone who knew Bolton or who was in the Fort Wayne area that night with information that could shed more light on what happened?
