In the late hours of a Tuesday in Indianapolis, the life of Guy Hornaday, a 60-year-old male, was brought to a violent and tragic end. On the evening of March 29, 2016, at approximately 11:00 p.m., events unfolded that would leave a community shaken and a family searching for answers. At least two individuals forced their way into Hornaday's apartment, situated on the 3500 block of Evergreen Avenue, near Fall Creek Parkway and just south of the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
It was within the confines of his own home that he was fatally shot.
The immediate aftermath of the shooting saw the arrival of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, who launched an investigation into the homicide. Witnesses at the scene were able to provide investigators with a description of a suspect vehicle, a piece of information that offered a glimmer of hope in the initial stages of the inquiry. Detectives began the arduous process of piecing together the evidence, gathering statements, and searching for any surveillance footage that might shed light on the identities of the perpetrators.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the case has grown cold. The leads and initial witness descriptions have not yet culminated in the identification and apprehension of the individuals responsible for Guy Hornaday's death. No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly named in connection with the murder. The investigation remains open, a lingering testament to a life cut short and a case that continues to await a resolution that will bring justice for Hornaday and closure to his loved ones.
