A Sunday afternoon shooting in Indianapolis left two 17-year-olds dead after officers responded to reports of a person shot on Central Avenue near 38th Street. Police were called about 3:15 p.m. on November 2, 2025, and found two teenagers with gunshot wounds outside a residence — one near a vehicle and one inside it. Both were taken to hospitals in critical condition; Yonah Ben Jeffers-Telfair was pronounced dead at the hospital, and a second 17-year-old, Jontavion T. Davis, died of his injuries several days later.

The SWAT team was deployed when someone believed to be involved was reported to be inside a nearby home; that person surrendered without incident. Two people were initially detained but later released pending the ongoing investigation. Detectives say the shooting appears to have stemmed from some type of disturbance. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

If anyone knew Yonah, Jontavion, or the circumstances around Central Avenue that afternoon, please share what you know with investigators.
