Jason L. Valentine, 40, was killed on the night of April 18, 2026, after gunfire erupted on Indianapolis’ south side. Police were called about 9:45 p.m. to the 2300 block of South Pennsylvania Street, a residential block near East Raymond Street and Madison Avenue. Officers found Valentine outside a home with gunshot wounds; he was alive when first responders reached him and was taken to a local hospital but was later pronounced dead. The Marion County Coroner identified him the following Monday as Jason Valentine, and his death appears in gun violence memorial records as a fatal shooting that night.

Family members described the loss as sudden and devastating. A fundraiser organized by Blake Valentine, who identified Jason as his father, said Jason had a sweetest soul and was generous, kind, supportive, and someone who put others before himself; the family said they were left arranging funeral and cremation expenses after what they called his murder.

As of the most recent reports, police had not released a suspect name, suspect description, or motive, and no arrest was announced. Investigators asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana or submit a tip through the P3 Tips app. Does anyone have information about Jason Valentine or what happened that night?
