Jeff Finkel, 64, was shot to death inside his Indianapolis home on the southeast side in the early morning hours of November 22, 2025. Police were called just before 4 a.m. to the 1700 block of James Run Way; officers found him mortally wounded and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The normally quiet residential block was also targeted that night by a string of vandalism reports: several vehicles had slashed tires and one gas tank was reportedly contaminated with soda.

Home security video from a nearby house captured a shadowy figure slashing tires at a neighboring driveway then walking in the direction of Finkel’s home minutes before the shooting. Detectives focused on 37-year-old truck driver Robert Bido, who lived on the same block and had an unrelated domestic violence case from June 2024 that prosecutors reopened in November 2025.

No arrest has been announced specifically for Finkel’s homicide and investigators said they were still determining whether a direct connection existed between the shooting and the other crimes that night. Finkel’s family remembered him as a medical courier, father of two, a recent husband and an Ohio State fan. Did anyone on James Run Way or nearby see activity around 3:50 to 4:00 a.m. on November 22 that could help clarify what happened?
