On the evening of May 3, 2025, Indianapolis officers responding to reports of a shooting found a vehicle near the intersection of Chadbourne Drive and West St. Clair Street with Sapanna Q. Harris-Williams inside. Harris-Williams, 42, was discovered unresponsive with a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident was investigated as a homicide.

Witnesses said a gray Pontiac arrived and the driver, described as heavily intoxicated, exited and told bystanders there was a body in the car and that he had shot the victim, making graphic comments about the injury. Officers located 40-year-old Tramone Allen about a block away; he was reportedly uncooperative, urged officers to shoot him, and was tasered and detained. A shotgun was visible on the back seat of the vehicle.

Family members described a history of domestic violence between Harris-Williams and Allen, including an incident the night before when Allen allegedly dragged her from her home and alarming text messages on the day of the shooting. Allen was charged with murder and ordered held without bond. If anyone knew Sapanna or saw activity around Chadbourne Drive and West St. Clair on May 3, did you see or hear anything that could help investigators?
