On October 5, 2013, authorities in Indianapolis, Indiana, initiated a homicide investigation following the death of Mark A. Kelley. The 49-year-old Black male was found deceased at a residence located in the 4300 block of Declaration Drive, situated in a neighborhood on the city's south side. The incident occurred during a particularly violent period for the city, contributing to a year that saw a significant rise in criminal homicides across Marion County.
Police arrived at the scene to find Kelley, who was also known as Mark Anthony Kelley Sr., having suffered fatal injuries. Investigators processed the home on Declaration Drive for evidence, treating the death as a murder. Despite the immediate response and the collection of potential forensic details from the location, the specific circumstances leading up to the altercation or attack were not immediately clarified in public reports.
In the years following the crime, the case has remained classified as an unsolved homicide by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. Detectives have not publicly identified a motive or named any specific suspects in connection with the killing. No arrests have been made, and the investigation eventually went cold, leaving Kelley’s death without a legal resolution or a conviction for those responsible.
