In the early hours of a summer morning in Indianapolis, a burst of violence tragically cut short the life of 21-year-old Andre D. Stennette-Harrod. On June 17, 2012, Andre and his brother, LaVonne Harrod, were fatally shot in the vicinity of 38th Street and Georgetown Road. The incident, which unfolded around 2:40 AM, left a family shattered and a community searching for answers.
Responding to a report of a person shot in a car, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers
arrived at the scene to find the two brothers with gunshot wounds. The suddenness of the event sent shockwaves through their family, who were left to grapple with the devastating loss of two of their own in a single, senseless act. In the months that followed, the family bravely came forward, making emotional public pleas for any information that could lead to the capture of those responsible. They shared that they had heard speculation the shooting may have stemmed from a road rage incident that occurred earlier that night.
Despite the passage of time and the heartfelt appeals from the family for witnesses to come forward, the case of Andre D. Stennette-Harrod and LaVonne Harrod's deaths has grown cold. Law enforcement has received tips over the years, but none have culminated in an arrest. The investigation into their murders remains open and unsolved, leaving a void in the lives of their loved ones who continue to hope for justice. No suspects have been publicly identified or taken into custody in connection with the double homicide.
