Stanley J. Ostermeyer, 55, was found unresponsive inside his Fort Wayne, Indiana home on the morning of March 11, 2017. A fellow resident discovered him at about 9:20 a.m.; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. An autopsy by the Allen County Coroner’s Office determined he died of gunshot wounds and the Fort Wayne Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Authorities treated the death as suspicious, but in the days and weeks after the killing no suspects were publicly identified and no arrests were announced. Family described Stanley as a caring, protective veteran and grandfather. Few case details were released early in the inquiry, and the circumstances leading to the shooting remain unclear.

If anyone knew Stanley, saw something in that neighborhood on March 11, 2017, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
