On March 5, 2013, 25-year-old Michael D. Baker was shot and killed at the Wellington Village Apartments on Indianapolis’ east side. Baker and three 19-year-old friends — Markell Kelly, DeJour Martin, and Christian Smith — were inside an apartment when gunfire came from outside. Multiple bullets pierced the apartment door; Baker was pronounced dead at the scene and the three others were wounded but survived.

Baker was a father of two, ages three and five at the time, and worked at a CVS Pharmacy. His brother described him as a hardworking man not known to have enemies. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department canvassed the area and sought public tips, but the motive was unclear and investigators struggled to identify a suspect.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly reported, and the case appears to have gone cold. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information that could finally bring answers for Baker’s family, please come forward.
