On the afternoon of January 3, 2025, Shannon Ramone Campbell Jr., a 23-year-old Black male, was fatally shot outside a property on the 1800 block of Howard Street on Indianapolis’ near southwest side. Officers responded about 3:30 p.m. after reports of gunfire and found two people with gunshot wounds outside a space rented for use as a music recording studio. Campbell was pronounced dead at the scene; the other victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Detectives canvassed for evidence and witnesses and reviewed surveillance footage that reportedly showed a vehicle pulling up to the men and a person wearing a hood and mask opening fire before fleeing. Investigators identified a person of interest and a suspect vehicle. On January 13, 2025, police located and arrested 20-year-old Jason Powell in the 2800 block of Ludwig Drive; he was charged with murder in Campbell’s death and attempted murder for the surviving victim.

A visitation and funeral were scheduled at Sprowl Funeral & Cremation Care with interment at Floral Park Cemetery. Does anyone have information about Campbell, the studio on Howard Street, or the events that afternoon?
