Douglas Todd Fulkerson, 29, was fatally shot in the early morning of September 14, 2021, in the 1200 block of Marshall Avenue in Evansville, Indiana. Police found Fulkerson with a gunshot wound at about 2:30 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators identified 27-year-old Richard D. Garrett as the person who fired the fatal shot. Garrett admitted to shooting Fulkerson and told authorities he acted in self-defense, saying Fulkerson had pointed a gun at people inside Garrett’s home. No charges were filed against Garrett for the killing at that time.
A search of Garrett’s residence after the shooting produced methamphetamine and other drugs. Richard Garrett and his husband, Patrick M. Garrett, were arrested on felony drug possession charges; Richard Garrett was released after posting a $5,000 cash bond for those charges.
Did anyone in Evansville have information about the events that led to Fulkerson’s death or the people involved?
