On the morning of June 3, 2025, officers were called to the Dorchester Apartments on the 3700 block of North Pennsylvania Street in Indianapolis after reports of gunfire. First responders found a chaotic scene inside an apartment where two people had been shot. Thirty-nine-year-old Kia Robinson died at the scene and was pronounced dead by the Marion County Coroner’s Office. An adult male present was also shot and taken to a local hospital in serious but stable condition.

Detectives determined the shooting was domestic-related. Investigators collected fired cartridge casings and bullets at the scene. Police say the suspect fled before officers arrived; less than 24 hours later, on the morning of June 4, detectives and SWAT located and arrested 35-year-old Clarence White in the Castleton area. He was reportedly carrying a firearm, and forensic analysis matched the ammunition from that gun to the evidence recovered at the apartment.

The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office charged White with one count of murder in Robinson’s death, three counts of attempted murder and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. White remained in custody while the surviving victim recovered in hospital. Does anyone have information about Kia Robinson, her connections in the near north side community, or details that could help clarify what led to this shooting?
