On the evening of April 15, 2026, 22-year-old Robert Golliday was shot on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police responded to the 5900 block of Radnor Road about 7:30 p.m. after a report of a person shot. Golliday was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, and died shortly afterward.

No arrests have been announced and police have not released information about a suspect or a motive. In the days after the killing Robert’s mother, Dana Golliday, said he was a devoted father of two young children, ages three and one, and that he had been sheltering and supporting a close friend. She said that friend came to the door that evening and Robert went outside to speak with him before he was shot.

The family remembers Robert as a positive, happy person with a big smile. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact police.
