NOTES:
All information is
provided by public news releases from the Allen County Coroner’s office and/or
at least 2 confirmed media reports.
For the sake of
consistency and accuracy of the Remembering Fort Wayne Homicide
Victims blog and database, homicide is defined by Indiana
statute. In Indiana, homicide is
defined as the killing of one person by another. The term is neutral and
doesn't assign blame. Indiana's homicide statutes are in Title 35, Chapter 1
of the Indiana Code.
Remembering
Fort Wayne Homicide Victims does not track suicides, however, in the case of a
homicide/suicide, the Coroner’s release may name the suicide victim’s name, as
is the Coroner’s protocol and legal, and statutory requirements as contained in
Indiana Code, Section 36-2-14-18. In keeping with transparency, Remembering Fort Wayne
Homicide Victims does not edit or redact information in the
Cornoner’s releases.
Homicides
occurring outside of FW City limits are listed as “county” which can include
New Haven, Harlan, Grabil and others.
