On the night of November 25, 2009, two unknown assailants forced their way into a home in the Eagledale neighborhood on Indianapolis’s northwest side and shot 25-year-old Gabriel Rivas in the head. Rivas lived in the 4900 block of Lagora Lane, near 34th Street and Georgetown Road; his body was found shortly after the shooting by his brother, who then called police. The perpetrators fled on foot before officers arrived.

Investigators reported that Rivas had no prior criminal history, and despite an immediate response and later investigative work the case went cold. No arrests or convictions have been reported and the suspects remain unidentified. If anyone has information about Gabriel’s movements that night or witnessed suspicious activity near Lagora Lane on November 25, 2009, please come forward.
