FWPD

Alongside a number of other agencies and organizations, Fort Wayne police arrested one and seized more than 20 dogs Tuesday afternoon.

On Monday, FWPD asked for help in identifying a shooting victim from the weekend, and then in the afternoon, police were called to the area of State Boulevard and Cass Street for a report of an armed man, making suicidal threats.

Allen County has seen 19 homicides so far in 2025, and many have involved juveniles or young adults, police say.

Patricia Hepworth was shot by FWPD officers last week after the Indiana DOC parole officers tried to serve her with a warrant and she barricaded herself inside her apartment.

The Fort Wayne Police officer has been on the department since 2018. The shooting of the 58-year-old unhoused man in response to a burglary call remains under investigation.

Samuel Sterling Caston was Allen County's 32nd homicide for 2024

The shooting on the city's southeast side is the sixth police-action shooting since the beginning of June.

The project is the first of its kind in the state.

The health department announced a case of tuberculosis in Fort Wayne Community Schools and have sent messages to those in close contact.

Police are considering the shooting a "suicide by cop" due to a letter found in Gawon Benson's pocket.
