A shooting inside a home on August 31, 2016, left 22-year-old Deandre Johnson dead on the east side of Indianapolis. Investigators with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s gang unit identified a person of interest in the weeks after the killing and arrested 23-year-old Christopher Cooksey; the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with Murder and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon.

The case file also mentions several different men named Andre or Andre D. Johnson in unrelated incidents, including a 2020 fatal fentanyl case and a 2022 ambush murder with a conviction based on GPS and surveillance evidence. Those matters are separate from Deandre Johnson’s death.

Deandre was 22 at the time and died in what was determined to be a homicide. Few public details about motive or events inside the home have been released. Does anyone have information about Deandre, the August 31 scene, or the people involved?
