South Bend, Indiana – A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for a July 2024 fatal shooting in South Bend, closing a case that prompted a lengthy homicide investigation.
According to the South Bend Police Department, Cyjarron Odynski was sentenced Wednesday to 60 years in connection with the killing of 20-year-old Isaiah Walton-Davis in the 3600 block of Sample Street.
Court records show Odynski was found guilty of murder in January. The sentence includes 50 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections, with 10 years suspended, followed by five years of probation.
Police said Walton-Davis was fatally shot in July 2024. The investigation was led by the South Bend Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit, including Detectives Nicholas Pogotis and Brett Airy.
Officials did not release additional details about the circumstances of the shooting in the sentencing update.

The sentencing marks the conclusion of the criminal proceedings at the trial court level.
