On a Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis, just before 2 p.m. on December 29, 2019, the life of 26-year-old Alexis Edwards was tragically cut short. She was fatally shot in the 4900 block of Clarkson Drive in what has been described as an ambush as she pulled into her driveway. In the car with her was one of her two young sons, who was also shot but survived his injuries.
Edwards was born on December 21, 1993.
The shooting, which occurred in broad daylight, left a community shaken and a family devastated. In the immediate aftermath, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department began an active and ongoing investigation, appealing to the public for any information that might lead to an arrest. Despite these efforts, the case has remained unsolved for years, a source of continued pain for her loved ones.
In the absence of official updates on suspects from law enforcement, Edwards' family has publicly voiced their own beliefs about who was responsible. A family member released a video naming individuals they allege were involved in a dispute with Alexis that escalated to her murder. They claim to have provided this information to detectives, but as of late 2021, no arrests had been made in connection with her death. The family continues to advocate for justice, keeping her memory alive and hoping that someone with information will come forward to help close this painful chapter.
