John Damarcus Holman was 26 when he was fatally shot on the evening of September 8, 2014, while inside a van on Eby Avenue in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A black Chevrolet Tahoe pulled up, two men exited and fired into Holman’s van; one then approached the driver’s side and shot at point-blank range.

Investigators arrested 24-year-old Charles Benson and 25-year-old Marcus Lindsey. A third man, Marcus Thomas, was accused of ordering a hit on Holman in retaliation for a prior altercation and an allegation that Holman had stolen drugs and money from him. Marcus Lindsey pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of assisting a criminal for helping clean the vehicle to destroy evidence and received a four-year prison sentence.

The murder charge against Charles Benson was dismissed in May 2015 after a key witness in the case died, leaving prosecutors without sufficient evidence to proceed.

Did anyone who knew John or was in that Fort Wayne neighborhood on September 8, 2014, see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened?
