On the night of August 3, 2014, 22-year-old Francisco Javier Guzman was at his home on West Huron Circle in South Bend when two men knocked at the door. When Guzman answered and confirmed his identity, the men began shooting through the screen and wooden front door. He collapsed from a gunshot wound to the chest and was later pronounced dead at the hospital; an autopsy confirmed the chest wound was fatal.

Police were alerted by a ShotSpotter notification and recovered numerous .45-caliber shell casings and a green hat at the scene. Nearly a year later, Arremone Tobar and Davion Smith were identified and arrested in connection with the killing. A witness identified Smith as one of the shooters and as the man who wore the green hat left behind. In interviews, Smith said they had gone to Guzman’s house to commit a robbery and that Tobar began shooting when Guzman opened the door. Tobar told detectives he and Smith were paid to kill Guzman, said they split the payment, and admitted using a .45-caliber handgun.

Guzman was a father to a young son and had another child on the way; his family had long suspected his death was targeted. Did anyone in the South Bend area see anything that night or know more about Guzman’s activities in the days before August 3, 2014?
