David Scott Hardwick was 27 when he was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head under a tree outside an apartment complex on Breen Drive in Indianapolis in the early morning hours of a March day in 2008. Hardwick managed a jewelry store, was a member of the Oneida Tribe of Indians, and was a father to three children and stepfather to two.

Investigators tied a 14-year-old, Nevin Brooks, to the killing after arresting him the next day in an armed robbery about a mile from where Hardwick’s body was discovered. Surveillance footage showed a boy wearing clothing similar to Brooks’s using Hardwick’s ATM card at a gas station, bullets found on Brooks appeared to match the .38-caliber round that killed Hardwick, and Brooks’s mother identified him from the video. Brooks was returned to Indianapolis in January 2009 to face murder and robbery charges, tried as an adult, and later received a 55-year prison sentence at age 15.

Does anyone have memories of Hardwick, the neighborhood on Breen Drive, or information that could shed light on what happened that morning?
