William Morgan Collier, 37, was found wounded by at least one gunshot inside a pickup truck on the 1200 block of Queen Street in South Bend shortly after midnight. Officers initially responding to what looked like a crash worked to keep him alive until medics took him to Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead in the early morning hours.

The St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit took over the investigation and planned an autopsy as part of efforts to reconstruct what happened and when. Early reports described the probe as active but uncertain; police said there were no suspects at that time and asked the community for information about why Collier was on Queen Street and who might have been close enough to fire into the truck. Collier is described as a husband, father and son who worked in construction for years.

Did anyone see a pickup truck or activity on Queen Street around midnight that night, or have information about Collier’s movements that evening?
