On the night of December 11, 2016, 25-year-old Curdin Alexander Gizewski was shot and killed in the River Park neighborhood of South Bend, Indiana. Police found him deceased from a gunshot wound in the 1300 block of South 31st Street after responding to a report of shots fired.

Investigators arrested 47-year-old James Raymond Griffin, who was known to Gizewski, and charged him initially with voluntary manslaughter. According to authorities, the shooting followed a family altercation; several other people, including at least one other adult and two children, were in the home but were not injured.

The prosecutor asked a grand jury to review the case because of reports of prior violent contacts between Gizewski and Griffin that could bear on self-defense or defense of others. In March 2017 the grand jury returned a No Bill, and no formal charges were filed against Griffin.

If anyone knew Curdin or witnessed what happened that night, please share information that might clarify the events leading to his death.
