Eddie Demarcus Phillips, 23, was fatally shot in Muncie, Indiana, on October 12, 2016. The shooting occurred around 1:29 a.m. in the 700 block of South Hackley Street; Phillips was taken to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead at 2:35 a.m. from multiple gunshot wounds.

A 20-year-old man approached officers soon after and told them he had shot Phillips. He cooperated with police, was questioned, and said he acted in self-defense, claiming he had been lured to the location and that Phillips approached him displaying a handgun. Police turned the case over to the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

The prosecutorial decision and whether charges were filed have not been publicly detailed. Does anyone have information about the prosecutor’s review or what followed after the initial investigation?
