In the early hours of a Tuesday in Indianapolis, tragedy struck 25-year-old Jason Jeffery Alexander. On November 22, 2016, Alexander was shot and killed in what investigators believe was a robbery gone wrong. The incident occurred shortly after midnight in an apartment on Barrington Avenue.
Emergency services were called to the scene where they found Alexander suffering from a gunshot wound. He was quickly transported to Eskenazi Hospital for medical attention.
Despite the efforts of medical professionals, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead hours later.
At the time of the shooting, there were several other people inside the apartment. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives began an investigation, with robbery being the suspected motive from the outset. Authorities publicly urged the individuals who were present during the incident to come forward and provide any information they might have about the suspect or suspects.
In the years that have followed, the case of Jason Jeffery Alexander's death has grown cold. There have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made in connection with the homicide. No suspects have been officially named, and no charges have been filed. The investigation into who is responsible for the death of the young man remains open, leaving his family and community still waiting for answers and for justice to be served.
