On the morning of January 15, 2010, Sonny L. Stingley, 37, was killed during a home invasion on the near-northwest side of Indianapolis. The incident began about 6:45 a.m. when his wife went outside to warm their car. As she returned she was forced back into the house at gunpoint by two masked men. A struggle followed and Sonny Stingley was shot; the two assailants then fled the scene. Police responded to the Hart Drive residence and opened an investigation.

Authorities appealed to the public for help identifying the two men, but the case went cold. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. If anyone has information that could help bring answers for the Stingley family, please contact Crime Stoppers or the Indianapolis police.
