3 Men Shot Dead 'Execution Style' in Indiana

Police in Indiana are still searching for answers after finding three men killed "execution-style" inside an abandoned Fort Wayne home.

The three men were identified by police as 17-year-old Muhannad Adam Tairab, 20-year-old Adam Kamel Mekki and 23-year-old Mohamedtaha Omar.

"These young people were just starting out their lives, and now, they've lost their lives," Fort Wayne Police Chief Garry Hamilton said.

Local media reports say the men were from a predominately Muslim community, but their religions have not been confirmed. Still, police don't believe their race or religions were factors in their killings at the "party house."

The owners of the house reportedly live in Indianapolis, and the home has become a gathering place for teens and young adults "from families of African descent," specifically from Chad and Sudan, officials said.

An official told WANE, "We were aware that this home had become a problem for the neighborhood."

Police believe, for a killing like this to have taken place, multiple people were likely involved. Police are still searching for possible witnesses.
