South Bend, IN – Three suspects have been charged in connection with a fatal shooting in South Bend earlier this year, as police continue searching for one individual allegedly involved in the killing.
According to the South Bend Police Department, officers responded Sunday to the 700 block of North Brookfield Street on reports of shots fired. When officers arrived, they found 48-year-old Jiffery Jones suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The department’s Violent Crimes Unit allegedly launched an extensive investigation, examining evidence and conducting multiple interviews. Detectives allegedly identified three suspects tied to the case: 29-year-old Chavez Norwood of Chicago, 32-year-old Tyree Bonds of South Bend, and 26-year-old Daishawn Rowan of Chicago.
Authorities said, in coordination with the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office, murder charges have allegedly been filed against all three men. Norwood and Bonds have both been taken into custody and remain jailed. Rowan, however, remains at large and is allegedly believed to be in the Chicago area.
Police repeatedly warn that Rowan should be considered armed and dangerous. Officials urge the public not to approach him and to call 911 immediately if he is seen.
Investigators also encourage anyone with information to submit tips anonymously through Michiana Crime Stoppers. Tips that allegedly lead to an arrest may qualify for a cash reward.
Authorities emphasize that all suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
