Simone Bush was 24 when she was killed in the early morning hours of March 14, 2014, in the Michigan City, Indiana home she shared with her grandparents. An argument with her then-boyfriend, Brian Taylor, ended when a gun discharged and struck Bush in the neck; a struggle was heard from her bedroom and she was found deceased. Taylor, then 20, fled the house but later went to the Michigan City police station with his grandfather and was arrested and charged with murder.

The case moved through a troubled legal course. The first trial ended in a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict; the defense had argued the shooting might have been accidental or a suicide. A LaPorte County Chief Deputy Prosecutor was later found to have eavesdropped on a private conversation between Taylor and his attorney, resulting in suspension of that prosecutor’s law license. A second trial in 2018 produced a guilty verdict and Taylor was sentenced to 60 years in prison.

Did anyone in Michigan City know Simone or have information about the events that night?
