On the evening of March 4, 2010, Indianapolis police were called to a reported shooting at an apartment building at 3640 North Meridian Street. Officers arrived just after 9:45 p.m. and found 23-year-old Black male James Edward Cofield III suffering from multiple gunshot wounds on the front steps of the building’s entrance.

Cofield was taken to Methodist Hospital and rushed into surgery but died from his injuries shortly after arrival. Homicide detectives opened an investigation and initially tried to determine whether the shooting occurred inside the building or outside where Cofield was found. Police released a suspect description of a male roughly 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 190 pounds. No arrest or widely publicized trial or conviction is noted in the immediate reports.

Did anyone in Indianapolis at the time remember seeing a person matching that description or have information about the area around North Meridian Street that night?
