Chyon Andre Crabtree, 25, was fatally shot inside a Holloway Avenue residence on the near northeast side of Indianapolis in the early morning of January 19, 2025. Officers arrived just before 3:30 a.m. after a report of an unresponsive person and found Crabtree with at least one gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to investigators, Crabtree had been involved in an earlier incident the day before on the far east side of Indianapolis. He and an 18-year-old male were seen fleeing an apartment complex in Cumberland after shots were fired; the teenager suffered a non-fatal gunshot wound to the head. Police recovered multiple firearms, shell casings, ski masks, money, and drugs at that scene. Crabtree was questioned and released, then returned to the Holloway Avenue home where witnesses say he admitted to being in trouble and had a forehead injury. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire later that night, and multiple shell casings were found outside the house.

No arrests have been announced as homicide detectives continue to investigate the final 24 hours of Crabtree’s life. Does anyone have information about who was near the Holloway Avenue residence that night or about the earlier Cumberland incident?
