Dontay DeWayne White was 17 and a junior at Snider High School when he was shot and killed in Fort Wayne on May 18, 2016. He had finished a shift at a local restaurant and was riding with a friend to meet someone known as Michael on Brickshire Parkway. A male identified as Michael Harding II, then 16, entered their vehicle and produced a gun.

During a struggle after Dontay’s friend tried to disarm Harding, the firearm discharged and a single bullet struck Dontay in the neck. He was taken to a hospital and later died; the Allen County Coroner ruled the death a homicide. The case went cold for years, leaving the family without answers.

If anyone knew Dontay, the people he spent time with that night, or has information about the meeting on Brickshire Parkway, please come forward.
