Davelle Osby, 30, was killed in a mass shooting that erupted during a party held early Sunday morning on West Garfield Avenue in Elkhart. Eleven other individuals were also struck by gunfire in the same incident.

Surveillance footage from a doorbell camera captured the chaotic scene as people gathered in the street before automatic gunfire rang out, sending the crowd fleeing. Osby was among the 12 people hit during the sudden gunfire.

By Monday afternoon, eight of the injured had been discharged from the hospital, while three others remained hospitalized for treatment of their wounds.
