A promising young life was tragically cut short on a Saturday evening in Indianapolis. Fifteen-year-old Daniel Neal Burns was found deceased from an apparent gunshot wound in the doorway of an apartment. The discovery was made on October 17, 2015, leaving a community to grapple with the senseless loss of a young man.
In the wake of the shooting, investigators began to piece together the events that led to the male teenager's death. Their work led them to another teenager, who was subsequently arrested and faced murder charges in connection with the death of Daniel Neal Burns. The arrest brought a measure of progress in the case, though it could not erase the sorrow felt by those who knew and loved the young victim.
