Stephen Chipman Jr., 31, was shot and killed inside a Forest Manor Avenue home on Indianapolis’s east side in the early hours of November 23, 2025. Officers who entered the residence just after 4 a.m. found two men with gunshot wounds; Chipman was pronounced dead at the scene and another man was transported to a hospital in critical condition.

Within minutes, officers responded to a second nearby shooting on North Gladstone Avenue where a wounded man was found outside a residence and taken to hospital in stable condition. Detectives say that man is believed to be connected to the Forest Manor incident, making the episode effectively a triple-shooting spanning two nearby locations, though authorities have not publicly detailed his exact role.

Police describe the investigation as active; no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact the IMPD homicide office or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night?
