In the early morning hours of Saturday, December 20, 2025, officers responded to the 3900 block of Bonn Drive on Indianapolis’ northwest side after reports of a shooting. Inside a home, 23-year-old Keymanee Rippy was found with apparent gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency personnel and the Marion County Coroner’s Office handled the scene and identification.

Initial reports said a 22-year-old woman, an 8-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl were missing from the residence, prompting an urgent search. That evening the woman contacted media to say she and the children were safe; police did not immediately clarify their relationship to the victim. Rippy’s family described him as a devoted father to a one-year-old daughter and one of eleven children, and a fundraiser was started to help with funeral costs and support for his daughter.

Detectives have not released a motive or named any suspects, and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact the IMPD Homicide Office or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night?
