Two people were found shot to death inside a longtime Indianapolis home on January 8, 2025. Sixty-year-old Lowell Randall Randy Quinnette was discovered in his residence on the 5200 block of East 20th Place with a gunshot wound to the head. His longtime girlfriend, 57-year-old Deborah Denise Russell, was also found inside the house with multiple gunshot wounds. The Marion County Coroner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides.

Neighbors called police for a welfare check after Quinnette’s work truck remained in the driveway past his usual departure time. Residents reported seeing an unidentified person running from the direction of the garage around 10:00 p.m. the night before the bodies were found. Detectives with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department are investigating; no arrests or suspect descriptions have been released.

Quinnette had lived in that neighborhood for nearly four decades and worked as a maintenance technician. He played drums with local bands including Battle AXE and The Cause, and friends described him as dedicated to his music and career.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything the night of January 7 that might help investigators?
