On a summer morning in Indianapolis, 12-year-old Israel Offett and his 24-year-old brother Wayland Coe were found inside a car with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and died of their injuries. The family discovered Israel missing from his bed later that morning, learned of the shooting after calling his phone, and identified the brothers from coroner photos.

A witness identified 19-year-old Anthony Bean as the gunman, saying the shooting followed Wayland Coe talking to a group of girls that included Bean’s girlfriend. Bean was located and taken into custody the day after the shooting, gave reportedly inconsistent statements during questioning, and was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of intimidation. He was held without bond and a trial date was set for early fall.

If anyone knew Israel or Wayland, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
