In the spring of 2018, the life of 17-year-old Daymarko Tolefree was tragically cut short on the east side of Indianapolis. On the afternoon of Tuesday, May 8th, police responded to a report of a person down and discovered the young Black male inside a car in the 1100 block of North Tecumseh Street. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators at the time believed the shooting may have been connected to another nearby location.
Reports indicated that shots were fired in the vicinity of East 13th Street and North Oxford Street, a short distance from where Tolefree's body was discovered. The circumstances leading up to the shooting and what transpired between the two locations have remained unclear to the public.
In the years that have followed, there has been no publicly available information regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the death of Daymarko Tolefree. The case has seemingly gone cold, leaving a void of answers for his family and the community. Details about the motive behind the shooting and the individuals responsible have not been released by law enforcement, and the investigation into who took the young man's life appears to be ongoing.
