OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On the evening of July 14, 2025, a multi-agency unit known as the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force executed a search warrant at an apartment in Indianapolis’s 4500 block of East Washington Street, citing probable cause linking the resident to violent firearms violations. Upon arrival, officers knocked and announced their presence twice, receiving no reply.
Shortly afterward, they heard a gunshot from within the apartment. Officers forced entry, entering through the door under the assumption that someone had been shot. Instead of encountering another victim, they found the individual dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A toddler and adult exited safely during the breach.

The Indiana State Police, joined by Crime Scene Investigators, took over the investigation. Everyone on scene was wearing body cameras, but no footage has been publicly released to date.
