Lameke Boykins, 33, known to family as Meke, was shot and killed in Indianapolis on Monday, April 27, 2026. The shooting happened just before 4 p.m. in the 2800 block of North Euclid Avenue, near Massachusetts Avenue and East 30th Street, following what police described as a disturbance. Officers found him with gunshot wounds; medics took him to a hospital in critical condition and he later died.

Investigators said the case appeared to center on a conflict that escalated into gunfire and were focusing on a nearby residence, reportedly awaiting warrants to search it. Homicide detectives and forensic teams canvassed the area, collected evidence, and sought footage and witnesses. No arrest had been reported and police had not publicly identified a suspect or released a motive.

Away from the investigation, family members said Boykins was a devoted father of eight, a loving uncle, and remembered for his humor and energy. They were working to bring him home to Champaign, Illinois, and had organized a fundraiser to cover funeral and immediate expenses. Does anyone who was near North Euclid Avenue that afternoon have information or footage that could help explain what happened?
