JUNE 20, 2021 · HERITAGE SQUARE
The newest open file in this section is not old. Around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 20, 2021, at the close of a large gathering at the Heavenly Goat Brewing Company at Heritage Square, on the city's north side, gunfire broke out in the parking lots. Victor Kyle Jr., 26, was shot and killed; four other people were injured. The St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit worked the case, and its commander, Michael Grzegorek, put the investigation's shape on the record within the week: between three and five hundred people had been in the parking lots when the shooting started; detectives estimated that between eighty and a hundred rounds had been fired in and around the lot; investigators were working through video footage; and, in the commander's words, "This isn't one of those cases that's going to be solved very quickly — it's a very in-depth case." Police said they did not know what had precipitated the shooting.
No arrest or charge in Victor Kyle's killing appears in the public record reached after those June 2021 statements — not in the prosecutor's releases, not in the press of record, not in any published appeal. The Tribune carried the case under a Granger dateline; the ground, the responding departments, and the investigation are Mishawaka's, and the case is printed here as Mishawaka's.
