Chad N. Rouse was 20 when he was fatally shot in his Kokomo, Indiana, home on November 15, 2006. Officers responded to a residence on Armstrong Street and found Rouse had been shot in the back. A witness at the scene said an unidentified man entered the home intending to commit robbery and that a physical struggle with Rouse led to the shooting.

The case went cold for years while investigators pursued numerous leads and tips. In February 2023, police said they had narrowed their focus to a small group of people, and on May 26, 2023, a Howard County grand jury returned indictments charging two individuals in connection with the robbery and shooting.

What information about that night or the people involved might help finally bring answers for Chad’s family?
