In the winter of 2020, the life of 19-year-old Keon Dunlap was tragically cut short in Indianapolis. On the evening of Friday, December 18th, officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were dispatched to a gas station in the 5200 block of East 38th Street around 7 p.m. following a report of a person shot. Upon their arrival, they found Keon Dunlap with injuries consistent with a gunshot wound.
Emergency medical services rushed the young man to I.U.
Health Methodist Hospital in critical condition. Despite the efforts of medical staff, Keon Dunlap succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased shortly after arriving at the hospital. He was a recent graduate of Lawrence Central High School, having received his diploma on July 30, 2020. His family remembered him as a loving and respectful individual with a bright future; he had plans to attend Purdue University to study engineering.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives immediately began their investigation into the fatal shooting.
