On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 14, 2015, 14-year-old Dezjaun Sanders was shot in the 400 block of Harrison Street in Elkhart, Indiana. He was taken to Elkhart General Hospital but died in the emergency department. His mother, Tiffany Sanders, said the family had moved to Elkhart from Chicago to escape violence and mourned that her son had the whole world ahead of him.

Investigators identified 16-year-old Jwan L. Hardin as the person who shot Sanders after witnesses at the scene pointed to him. The Elkhart County Prosecutor’s Office issued an arrest warrant charging Hardin with one count of murder and warned he should be considered armed and dangerous. On Monday, May 4, 2015, a relative brought Hardin to the Elkhart Police Department and he was arrested and booked into the Elkhart County Correctional Facility.

No motive was released at the time. Does anyone have information about Dezjaun, his routine that day, or the neighborhood that could help fill gaps in this case?
