On the morning of September 28, 2025, gunfire was reported in the 5000 block of Southeastern Avenue near Emerson Avenue in Indianapolis. Officers responding to a call at the Marathon gas station found no victim at the scene, but investigators traced the wounded man to Community East Hospital. Twenty-year-old Kentaevon Shavon Patterson arrived with gunshot wounds and later died; the Marion County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity the next day.

Detectives described the shooting as an isolated incident and said Patterson likely knew the shooter, indicating they did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public. One person was briefly detained and later released after consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. No arrests have been announced and police have not publicly identified suspects; the motive remains undetermined.

Anyone with information that could assist homicide detectives is asked to contact investigators. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that morning?
