Angelee Phillips was 55 when she was found dead in her South Bend home on O’Brien Street on April 6, 2017. Neighbors remembered her as a kind, welcoming presence; police determined her death was not natural and that she had sustained a gunshot wound. The medical finding was ruled a homicide.

Investigators worked the case in the weeks after her death but officials did not announce any immediate suspects or a clear motive, and the investigation remained open. The shooting left family and neighbors with unanswered questions and a sense of loss in a formerly quiet block.

If anyone knew Angelee, saw unusual activity near O’Brien Street around April 6, 2017, or has information that could help, please come forward.
