On the evening of Saturday, December 6, 2025, Desmond Lee Perry Sr., 55, was shot inside a BP gas station on the near north side of Indianapolis at 37 West 38th Street near North Meridian Street. Police say first responders found Perry with apparent gunshot wounds around 7:50 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital in critical condition but died shortly afterward. The Marion County Coroner’s Office later confirmed his identity.

IMPD homicide detectives and the Indianapolis-Marion County Forensic Services Agency processed the scene, which was cordoned off, and investigators say witnesses described the shooting as appearing random. No suspects had been arrested in the days after the incident, and authorities did not release a motive or suspect identity. Detective Steven Gray of the IMPD Homicide Office is leading the investigation and asked anyone with information to contact police or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana.

Did anyone see activity at the BP that evening or recognize persons who were in or near the station around 7:50 p.m. on December 6?
