Cordale D Williams

In the late summer of 2014, the life of Cordale D. Williams, a 27-year-old African-American man, was tragically cut short in an act of violence that remains unresolved. On the evening of August 29, 2014, Williams was a passenger in a vehicle on the northeast side of Indianapolis, in the 9300 block of East 44th Street, when he was shot. The driver of the vehicle was unharmed in the attack.

Williams, a former member of the National Guard and the Indianapolis Tornadoes minor-league football team, suffered a gunshot wound to the face. He was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, Cordale D. Williams succumbed to his injuries two days after the shooting. His funeral services were held on September 6, 2014, at the New Directions Christian Church, followed by his burial at Sutherland Park Cemetery.

The investigation into the shooting was handled by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. However, the case grew cold, and to date, no arrests have been made in connection with his murder. The circumstances surrounding the shooting and a motive have not been publicly identified, and no suspects have been named. The case is now considered a cold case, one of many that the IMPD's Cold Case Unit continues to investigate, hoping to one day bring closure to the family of Cordale D. Williams.
