In the spring of 2016, a somber discovery was made in an alley on the near northwest side of Indianapolis. On the evening of Thursday, March 24th, the body of 54-year-old Dwight L. White, a male resident of the city, was found by individuals passing through the area. The grim scene prompted an immediate response from law enforcement.
Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were dispatched to the alleyway, where they confirmed that Dwight White had sustained at least
one gunshot wound. The Marion County Coroner's Office was called to the scene and subsequently ruled his death a homicide. In the initial stages of the investigation, police worked to piece together the events that led to this tragic end. They canvassed the neighborhood, seeking to identify anyone who might have witnessed suspicious activity or heard the sound of gunfire.
Despite the efforts of detectives, information regarding a potential suspect or suspects was not immediately forthcoming. The investigation into the death of Dwight L. White was launched, leaving his family and community awaiting answers. In the days that followed, an obituary was published, remembering him as Dwight Lewis White and announcing funeral services to be held in early April of that year. The case, however, faded from public view with no subsequent announcements regarding arrests or the filing of any charges in connection with his murder. The circumstances surrounding his final moments and the identity of the person or people responsible remain unresolved based on available online information.
