Fatal Michigan City shooting death of Treven Armstrong – Obituary

A deadly shooting in Michigan City on the night of Thursday, May 29, claimed the life of 25-year-old Treven Armstrong from Gary and left his brother critically injured.

Around 10:58 p.m., officers were dispatched after a 911 call reported an attempted homicide near the intersection of Dewey Street and Michigan Boulevard. Officer Dokmanovic arrived at the location and spoke with an individual before another man came out of a home at 1824 E. Michigan Boulevard, stating that someone inside had been shot.

When police entered the residence, they discovered brothers Treven Armstrong and 24-year-old Christopher Armstrong of Indianapolis suffering from gunshot wounds. Treven was pronounced dead at the scene, while Christopher was rushed to Franciscan Hospital and later transferred to South Bend Memorial Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including those from Michigan City, Long Beach, Trail Creek, and the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Department, assisted in securing the area. Investigators from the Michigan City Police Department, supported by the LaPorte County Prosecutor’s Office, executed a search warrant and collected evidence from the home. Eyewitness accounts and collected materials led detectives to identify 23-year-old D’Marcus Thompson of Gary as the individual responsible for the shooting.

Officer Rachel Davis located and apprehended Thompson in the 300 block of South Woodland Avenue, where he was found carrying a 9mm firearm. After further investigation, charges were officially filed against him.

Thompson faces multiple charges including murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery, and criminal recklessness. Magistrate Erika Stallworth approved a warrant for his arrest and set bond at $1 million, cash only.
