On the evening of July 30, 2026, in Indianapolis, 29-year-old Alonna Steen was found shot to death in the driver’s seat of her running car on Hendricks Place. She was discovered at about 9:15 p.m. and pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy later showed six gunshot wounds and her death was ruled a homicide.

Police encountered Taylor Boyd, 27, the victim’s ex-boyfriend and the father of her child, at the scene; he had called 911 and told the dispatcher that he had killed her. Officers recovered a Glock handgun with .45-caliber ammunition on the front porch where Boyd said he had placed it and found additional live rounds in his hoodie pocket. During an interview, Boyd reportedly said he had not been taking his schizophrenia medication consistently, had been drinking before the shooting, and admitted to an argument and a struggle over his gun. Family and friends remembered Alonna for her radiant smile and lively presence and had been concerned about the relationship.

Boyd was arrested and charged with murder; the case is being handled as a domestic-related homicide and he remained in custody as the matter proceeded through the criminal justice system. If anyone knew Alonna or has information about what happened that evening, please come forward.
