SOUTH BEND â A 16-year-old who was shot Monday afternoon on Fellows Street died from his injuries in the hospital.
The boy, Edwardo Rivera, was one of three people shot Monday in South Bend and his death marks the 13th reported shooting, and the third fatal shooting, in the city since the beginning of April.
âI know many of the people out here, and they are frustrated,â said South Bend Police Chief Scott Ruszkowski on Monday at the scene on Fellows Street. âWhen the weather gets better, more people get outside. When more people go outside, thereâs more opportunity for paths to cross.â

It unfortunately took a court fight and subsequent judge s order in a recent case against former Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill to drive the point home.
Hill left office in January after four turbulent years as the state s top law enforcement official. He had been tangling since 2019 with the Indianapolis Star over emails.
At issue was a PowerPoint budget presentation sought by a reporter that had been sent to the personal email addresses of Hill and then-Chief Deputy Aaron Negangard. The presentation was turned over to investigative journalist Ryan Martin, but the attorney general s office redacted the personal email addresses.

In a rare legislative move, seven officials in Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb s administration spoke Thursday in opposition to a bill being pushed by his own party that would limit the emergency powers he s used during the coronavirus pandemic.
Lawmakers who support the legislation say they want a seat at the table in the decision-making process and improve the state s emergency powers law. Leaders in Holcomb s administration worry the legislation would limit the governor s ability to respond in a timely fashion during a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Plus, legal experts testified during a committee hearing Thursday that they view the legislation as unconstitutional, an argument many lawmakers don t buy.
