On the evening of April 2, 2026, in Indianapolis’ 4700 block of Leisure Manor, 24-year-old Xavier Derryl Brown-Douglas was fatally shot after a disturbance inside a residence. IMPD officers arrived at about 10:45 p.m. and found Brown-Douglas with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide detectives say the shooting grew out of a fight between two people.

A person of interest was detained at the scene but released after consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office; by the following morning no charges had been filed and no arrests announced. The investigation remains ongoing and authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the IMPD Homicide Office or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana. Brown-Douglas, born November 28, 2001, in South Bend, is remembered as a loving, compassionate man who had served in the Army Reserve National Guard, returned to college to study HVAC and electrician work, and hoped to go into real estate.
