FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – The father who was shot and killed by an apparent stray bullet has been identified by the Allen County Coroner.
The death of 34-year-old Hilario Segura has been ruled a homicide, the first for Allen County in 2015. The autopsy confirmed that he died from a gunshot wound.
Segura was killed in his home at 3032 South Hanna Street just after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
