KOKOMO, Ind. — Kokomo police are renewing their call for public assistance in solving a 2006 murder case.
Shortly after 10 a.m. on Nov. 15, 2006, Kokomo Police Department officers responded to a house in the 1400 block of South Armstrong Street, near South Washington and West Defenbaugh streets, for a reported shooting.
There they located 20-year-old Chad Rouse, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators learned that a man entered the house and held Rouse and a woman at gunpoint during a suspected robbery, and Rouse was shot during a struggle, police said.

"The Kokomo Police Department wishes to remind the public that Chad’s case remains active and if you know something, say something," the department said in a statement. "The Kokomo Police Department believes this case can be solved and asks for the community’s continued assistance."
