Forrest Tab Grant, 62, was fatally shot on April 17, 2025, near a bus stop in the 2000 block of West Morris Street on Indianapolis’ near southwest side. The shooting occurred around 1:30 p.m. after an argument over money involving Grant and two men identified as Donnie Abney Jr. and his 22-year-old son Donnie Abney III. Grant was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and later died.

Investigators say witnesses described a heated exchange in which the younger Abney allegedly displayed a handgun, then put it away after being persuaded by another person. Surveillance footage and witness statements reportedly show Grant walking away when Donnie Abney III allegedly shot him in the back. Family members told police the younger Abney made statements to the effect that he hadn’t meant to kill Grant. Detectives arrested Donnie Abney III on May 1, 2025; the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with murder and unlawful carrying of a handgun. Whether charges would be brought against Donnie Abney Jr. was left to prosecutors. Grant’s son Joseph said his father didn’t deserve to be killed.

Did anyone in the area see the argument near the bus stop or have information about what led up to the shooting?
