On January 19, 2014, 32-year-old Damian J. Miller II was shot and killed outside the Dupont Bar & Grill on North Clinton Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Witnesses reported an altercation that began inside the bar and continued outside, where Miller was pronounced dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound. This was noted as the first homicide in Fort Wayne and Allen County for 2014.

The Allen County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office later announced no criminal charges would be filed. Prosecutors reported that Miller had attacked the bar’s security officer and struck him in the head with a glass beer bottle that shattered, causing injury. The security officer then shot Miller, and authorities concluded the officer acted in self-defense under Indiana law. No arrests were made.

Miller worked as a field manager for Empire Industrial Equipment and was survived by his parents, a sister, and a brother. Did anyone see the altercation that moved from inside the bar to the street or have additional information about that night?
