On the afternoon of Saturday, March 26, 2016, officers in Fort Wayne found a man inside a parked vehicle on the city’s southeast side. The scene was treated as a serious violent crime; homicide detectives and crime scene technicians processed the area. The Allen County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from gunshot wounds. The victim was identified as 40-year-old Shawn R. Reinhart of Monroe, Indiana, born in Decatur.

Reinhart was remembered as a family man who graduated from Adams Central High School and studied automotive technology at the University of Northwestern Ohio. He enjoyed working on cars and motorcycles, cooking, and spending time with his wife, children, and extended family. After the autopsy his body was released and a funeral service was held at The Bridge Community Church South in Berne.

Does anyone in the Decatur, Monroe, or Fort Wayne communities have information about Shawn Reinhart’s death or remember seeing him in late March 2016?
