The Fort Wayne Police Department served a Search Warrant in connection with the 700 block West Rudisill Boulevard homicide at the 800 block of Lafever Street in Ossian Indiana on June 20, 2025.
Fort Wayne Police Department incident report:
Date: June 20, 2025
Location: 800 block of Lafever Street, Ossian, Indiana
Details/Summary:
Yesterday, June 19, 2025, at 2:31pm, the Fort Wayne Police Department responded to a fatal shooting in the 700 block of W. Rudisill Blvd. Investigators have been working nonstop since then to piece together what happened and arrest those responsible. The investigation took detectives to a home in the 800 block of Lafever St where detectives believed evidence related to the earlier investigation could be located.
Shortly before midnight, detectives applied for and were granted a search warrant. However, because of the nature of the previous incident (fatal shooting) and because of the unknown persons that might be in this address, the decision was made to call the occupants out of the house before serving the search warrant. Detectives used loudspeakers to tell anyone inside to exit, but a few subjects initially refused. Again, because of the violent nature of the previous incident and the unknowns still in this house, the Emergency Services Team was called to assist. Shortly after arriving, the Emergency Services Team used loudspeakers to tell anyone remaining in the house to exit, and two juveniles finally cooperated without incident.
There are currently no arrests stemming from this incident down on Lafever St. Detectives will be serving the search warrant, searching for any evidence related to the previous investigation.
At this time there is nothing further.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
All information is preliminary and subject to change during the course of the investigation.
