Eugenio Roman, 52, was shot and killed on February 21, 2021, in a parking lot on the west side of Indianapolis. He was leaving a business in the 5600 block of West 38th Street when a dark-colored SUV pulled up, two people got out and fired multiple shots. Roman was found unresponsive with several gunshot wounds; the suspects searched his pockets and his vehicle before fleeing.

Investigators reviewed nearby surveillance footage that captured the incident. Days after the killing, 22-year-old Tavon Macklin was arrested in possession of a handgun; forensic analysis by the Indianapolis Crime Gun Intelligence Center linked that gun to the shooting. Phone records also placed Macklin in the same parking lot at the time of the murder. After a three-day trial in August 2023 a jury convicted Macklin of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon; he was later sentenced in October 2023.

Did anyone in the area see the SUV or remember anyone acting suspiciously that night?
