On Sunday afternoon, August 2, 2026, 19-year-old Turion Carpenter was shot in Indianapolis and later died at a hospital. Officers first found a man with gunshot wounds in the common hallway of an apartment building in the 6200 block of East 11th Street; Carpenter was brought to the hospital and succumbed to his injuries.

Court documents and surveillance footage described a sequence in which Carpenter exited a vehicle and allegedly opened fire on another man who returned fire, striking Carpenter. Investigators say Carpenter continued firing, seized the other man’s weapon, and then retreated to the car. The vehicle’s driver, identified as Carpenter’s 42-year-old cousin, Deon Reid, is alleged to have stepped out and fired toward the other man before driving Carpenter to the hospital.

Reid was detained at the hospital, arrested, and on August 5, 2026, was charged with murder, robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. Reid pleaded not guilty at the preliminary hearing; investigators say surveillance video shows him firing during the incident. Did anyone see the vehicle or activity on East 11th Street that afternoon, or have information about what happened inside the apartment complex?
