In the early morning hours of June 29, 2025, two 19-year-old men were found fatally shot in the 4300 block of Cornelius Avenue in the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood on Indianapolis’ north side. Officers responding to a death investigation discovered Jesse Alexander Quiroz, a Hispanic male born March 14, 2006, and his friend Isaiah Joseph Wilson; medics pronounced both dead at the scene. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire about 2:30 a.m., followed by screaming, and later awoke to find crime scene tape on their street.

Jesse was a 2024 graduate of Arsenal Technical High School and was remembered for his passion for baseball and a warm, kind spirit. Detectives with the IMPD Homicide Office and the city’s forensic services unit began investigating, but authorities did not immediately have a suspect or a stated motive and no arrests have been announced. If anyone saw or heard anything that morning or knew the two young men, please contact IMPD Homicide with any information.
