In the early moments of a Monday morning in November 2017, the lives of two people were tragically cut short in a burst of gunfire that erupted at a gas station on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Trevon D. Harris, a 26-year-old male, was killed in what his family would later describe as a senseless ambush. The shooting took place just after midnight on November 13, 2017, at the Phillips 66 located at the intersection of 34th Street and Keystone Avenue.
Harris was in a car with 32-year-old Toshika Boler when they were targeted. The vehicle was riddled with dozens of bullet holes, a testament to the violent nature of the attack. Harris was pronounced dead at the scene, while Boler was rushed to a nearby hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. Family members of Harris were left in shock, struggling to comprehend why someone would carry out such a brutal act against him, describing him as a man who primarily spent his time with his family.
In the immediate aftermath, investigators with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department descended upon the scene, which was marked by numerous evidence markers indicating the location of shell casings. Detectives expressed hope that surveillance video from the gas station would provide crucial clues to help identify the person or persons responsible for the double homicide.
Despite the initial investigation and the pleas from family members for answers, there have been no publicly reported arrests or identification of any suspects in the years following the shooting. The case of who killed Trevon D. Harris and Toshika Boler remains unresolved, leaving a painful void for their loved ones and a lingering question of justice for the community. The motive behind the violent ambush also remains unclear, adding another layer of mystery to the tragic deaths.
