Juan M. A. Lucio, a 24-year-old man from Muncie, Indiana, died on July 30, 2016, after being taken to Indiana University Ball Memorial Hospital. Online memorial records place his death in Muncie and categorize it as a fatal incident of gun violence on that date.
He had been born July 16, 1992, in Spring Valley, Illinois, to Francisco “Frank” and Karen Lucio Sr., and later built his life in Muncie.
Family remembrances describe someone who moved through school and work with an eye on providing for the people he loved, graduating from Muncie City Schools and taking jobs in local manufacturing before stepping into armed security work.
In the years leading up to his death, those same remembrances paint a picture of a young father whose world revolved around his two daughters, with pride in his responsibilities and a strong interest in firearms that matched his work. The obituary published through his funeral home notes he worked for Securitas as an armed security guard, was a member of the National Rifle Association, and enjoyed guns alongside the ordinary, grounding routines of family time.
The day he died is described in the available obituary record as sudden and unexpected at the hospital, while the gun-violence memorial entry ties that date and place to a shooting death without presenting its own narrative of what happened minute by minute. Together, those sources leave a stark outline: a young man’s life ended in Muncie on July 30, 2016, and the loss rippled outward immediately into grief, gathering, and burial plans.
In the materials that are publicly readable from these memorial and obituary pages, no suspect is named and no arrest, charges, trial, or conviction is documented. The memorial page does list local news outlets as having covered the case, but the pages themselves do not provide any reportable details about who may have been responsible or whether anyone was taken into custody.
