Johnnie L. Conner was a 73-year-old Indianapolis businessman and veteran who ran Johnnie’s Glass & Frames on the city’s east side and owned several rental homes in the neighborhood. On Thursday, December 11, 2008, he was found dead inside his shop in the 3100 block of East New York Street by a postal worker. Investigators determined he died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

Detectives initially treated the killing as a possible robbery gone wrong after a petty cash box was reported missing, but neighbors and others noted that other valuables in the shop were reportedly left untouched, leaving questions about motive. Homicide detectives canvassed the area but had limited information and no strong leads.

Did anyone who knew Mr. Johnnie or who was in that area on December 11, 2008, see or hear anything that could help bring answers?
