Javon Townsend, a 17-year-old junior at Michigan City High School, died after a post-prom gathering at a rental home on Liberty Avenue in Pine Township near Michigan City, Indiana.

At approximately 11:00 p.m., an incident at the residence left Javon critically hurt, and responders took Javon to Franciscan Hospital, where officials pronounced Javon dead.
Two other young people also received medical care and remained hospitalized after the same event.
