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.
