According to a press release from Muncie Police Department (MPD) Deputy Chief Melissa Criswell.

Approximately 12:40 a.m. August 20, two days before Fall semester 2022 classes begin for Ball State University, shots were fired in the area of W. University Ave. and N. Dill St. As emergency service personnel responded, they found a 19 year old with an apparent gunshot wound.

The 19 year old was transported to IU Health/Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana, and was pronounced deceased. The victim was later identified as Que'Aundre Johnson of Marion, Indiana.

This is still an active investigation by the MPD, with help from the Ball State University Police Department (BSUPD). Surveillance video from the area is under review, and has reportedly found the suspect to be a younger Black male wearing a black T-shirt and light shorts, who fled southeast from the scene on foot.

For those with information concerning the investigation, contact the Muncie Police Department Detective Division via phone at 765-747-4867 or the Muncie Police Dispatch via phone at 765-747-4838.
