A 17-year-old male, Elijah Gordon, was fatally shot in his Indianapolis, Indiana, home on the evening of November 29, 2018. A student at North Central High School, he was discovered by his mother in their apartment, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Responding to a call at approximately 10:40 p.m., police and paramedics arrived to find Gordon deceased at the scene.
The investigation into his death revealed evidence of forced entry, with three bullet holes found in the apartment's front door and shell casings discovered in the doorway. A neighbor reported hearing what sounded like three gunshots earlier in the evening but did not witness the event.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, law enforcement officials stated that they had not identified any suspects and appealed to the community for any information that might lead to an arrest. Despite the ongoing investigation, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of suspects in the years following Elijah Gordon's death. The case remains an unsolved homicide.
