On a cold December evening in Kokomo, Indiana, the life of 15-year-old Dalton Wayne Fisher was tragically cut short. It was Sunday, December 8, 2019, when police responded to a call of shots fired at the Lincolnwood Apartments shortly after 10:30 p.m. Upon arrival, they found the young white male with suspected gunshot wounds; medics pronounced him deceased at the scene.
Investigators soon pieced together the events that led to the fatal shooting.
Dalton had accompanied his 22-year-old sister, Kyli Fisher, to the apartment complex in her black Pontiac Grand Prix. The purpose of their visit was to allegedly sell marijuana. Two Black males got into the backseat of the vehicle, and at some point during the transaction, an altercation broke out. In the ensuing chaos, gunshots were fired, and Dalton was fatally wounded. Witnesses reported seeing the two men flee from the car after the shooting.
In the immediate aftermath, Kyli Fisher was found at the scene and was arrested. She faced several charges, including neglect of a dependent, possession of a handgun without a permit, and dealing a controlled substance.
While Kyli Fisher was taken into custody, the search for the two male suspects began. Police released a description of one of the suspects as a light-skinned Black male, between 5'6' and 5'7' tall with a thin build and a distinct flat nose, who was last seen wearing dark clothing. The other suspect was described as a shorter Black male with a thin build, also wearing dark clothing. The investigation into the identity and whereabouts of these individuals continued, leaving a community searching for answers and a family grappling with a devastating loss. No publicly available information details any arrests or convictions of the two men who fled the scene. The final outcome of the legal proceedings against Kyli Fisher is also not available in public records.
