Wesley E. Poindexter, 40, was shot to death on the afternoon of May 12, 1999, in the 55000 block of Country Club Drive in South Bend, Indiana. Responding officers found Poindexter had been shot multiple times after a reported argument and gunshots in the neighborhood.

Poindexter, born March 29, 1960, was a lifelong South Bend resident who worked construction and odd jobs and had earned a GED from the South Bend Street Academy. He is remembered by four sisters, seven brothers, and others in the community for his ready smile and love of family and children.

An early lead came from a delivery truck driver who reported seeing a light-colored pickup leaving the scene with three Black men inside; those men are believed to be the primary suspects. The case went cold over the years, and Poindexter’s murder remains unsolved despite media features and a cash reward for information.

Does anyone have information about that May 12, 1999 afternoon on Country Club Drive or remember seeing a light-colored pickup in the area?
