In the late hours of a Saturday in Anderson, Indiana, the life of Thomas 'Tommy' Greggory Ogle was tragically cut short. On May 4, 2019, the 38-year-old male was found in an alley in the 400 block of West 7th Street, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. Emergency services transported him to St. Vincent's Hospital, but his injuries proved fatal.
Thomas, born on December 27, 1980, was a lifelong resident of Anderson.
He was known for his big heart and his willingness to help friends and family, often giving them his last dollar. He had a passion for working with his hands, a skill he learned from his father in the HV/AC trade, and he was the kind of person who could figure out how to fix anything. His friendly and generous nature left a lasting impact on those who knew him.
The Anderson Police Department launched an investigation into the shooting, interviewing numerous witnesses in the aftermath of the incident. Early in the investigation, authorities identified and spoke with a person of interest, but this did not immediately lead to any arrests. The case was declared a homicide, and the investigation continued.
Years have passed since Thomas Ogle's death, and the case has grown cold, leaving his family and community searching for answers. As of early 2024, the investigation into his murder remains open and unsolved, with no arrests having been made. The community has not forgotten him, with candlelight vigils and social media posts continuing to call for justice and to keep his memory alive. His loved ones remember a man who was always there for them, a man who loved spending time with his nieces and nephews, and who would do anything for his family and friends.
