The local police said just after 2 am on July 22, the fight spilled into the parking lot, where Achoch was assaulted by several people.

Another person reportedly tried to stop the fight, but was also dragged into the scuffle and assaulted.

Police officers became aware of the fight and Achoch was taken to Methodist Hospital in critical condition. Eight days later, he died from his injuries, police said.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Achoch was a student from Kenya who was attending classes at Ivy Tech Community College. IMPD said he was an accomplished soccer defenseman who was being considered for the Indy Eleven.

Detectives are asking anyone who may have video or observed the incident to call the IMPD Homicide Unit.
