Anthony Myers Sr

In the fall of 2022, on October 12th, the life of 47-year-old Anthony Dewayne Myers Sr. was tragically cut short in Indianapolis, Indiana. A man known affectionately to family and friends as 'Tony Man' or 'Pisces,' he was fatally wounded by gunfire. Myers, born on March 7, 1975, in Indianapolis, was a father and the only son of his mother, Florence L. Myers. He attended Indianapolis Public Schools and professed a hope in Christ at a young age.

Described as a man who loved working with his hands, Tony had a particular fascination with cars, especially 'old school' models, and possessed a knack for restoring them to pristine condition. Despite facing the challenge of continually failing eyesight due to Retinitis Pigmentosa, he was known for his big, genuine smile and a lighthearted sense of humor. His positive and determined spirit was an inspiration to those who knew him. He was a devoted father who, for many years, was a single parent to his children.

In the wake of the shooting, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department swiftly began an investigation. Within a short period, their efforts led to the arrest of a suspect in connection with the fatal shooting on Denny Street. The individual taken into custody was subsequently charged in October for his alleged involvement in the homicide of Anthony Myers Sr.

The loss of Anthony Myers Sr. was deeply felt by his loved ones. He was remembered as a protector, confidant, and friend to his sisters, and a cherished member of his entire family. His magnetic personality and compassionate nature left a lasting impact on those who had the pleasure of being in his close circle. His life was celebrated at a funeral service on October 28, 2022, at the True Vine Missionary Baptist Church in Indianapolis.
