Northeast Indianapolis resident Keith Anthony Castile Jr., 19, was fatally shot on the night of July 30, 2026. Officers were dispatched shortly before 9:25 p.m. after a report of a shooting on Hovenweep Way in the Loudoun Place subdivision near East 42nd Street and North German Church Road. Castile apparently left the scene after being wounded and drove to a nearby gas station and convenience store at East 42nd Street and North Franklin Road, where he was later found and taken to a hospital in critical condition; he died shortly afterward.

Investigators say the gunfire originated on Hovenweep Way and that Castile and the person who fired the weapon knew one another, though police did not describe their relationship or a motive. A person connected to the investigation was detained at the scene and later released pending further inquiry; no one had been publicly charged in the homicide as of the latest reporting through September 2026. Castile was born January 9, 2007; family described him as caring, generous and passionate about cars, and he is survived by a young son, Kaston Armani Castile.

Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Keith’s movements in the Loudoun Place area on July 30?
