LeonDre Kyles-Thomas was 19 when he was shot inside an apartment on Greene Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on August 13, 2016. He was taken to a local hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, the city’s 22nd homicide victim that year for Fort Wayne and Allen County.

Witnesses said two people on bicycles rode into the apartment complex just before the shooting. Court documents say 20-year-old Daquavion Johnson rode up on a bicycle, approached a group of three men including Kyles-Thomas, and opened fire. Friends found Kyles-Thomas with a fatal chest wound. In a recorded call to his mother, Johnson admitted involvement, saying someone was shot though not the intended target and expressing remorse.

Johnson was arrested and charged with murder. In June 2017 he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, saying the shooting happened in the heat of the moment and he was returning fire after being shot at. He later received a 20-year sentence. Does anyone have further information about Kyles-Thomas, the scene on Greene Street, or witnesses who saw the bicyclists?
