A domestic dispute at the Carriage House Apartments in Elkhart, Indiana, turned deadly in October 2016. A physical altercation between Leon Lewis and his girlfriend escalated when Leon and his relative, 35-year-old Jarius Lewis, returned to the complex and argued with the girlfriend’s family and friends. Reports say Leon fired a handgun inside the residence, the fight moved outdoors, and additional shots were exchanged.

As Jarius and Leon tried to leave in a vehicle, someone fired into their car and Jarius was struck. Leon drove him to Elkhart General Hospital, where Jarius remained on life support for several days before dying on Sunday, October 23, 2016. An autopsy was scheduled and authorities ruled the matter a homicide investigation.

Police arrested Leon Lewis on domestic battery and criminal recklessness with a firearm stemming from the initial dispute, but he was not charged in Jarius’s shooting. Officials named a person of interest but did not release a name; the homicide investigation remained open. If anyone has information about that night or who fired into the vehicle, please share what is known.
