Joshua Nehemiah Jones was a 28-year-old Black man known to friends as a comedian and the funniest guy they knew. On Tuesday afternoon, October 29, 2024, just after 2:30 p.m., he was inside the Grifols Biomat USA Plasma Center in the 3600 block of North Post Road in Indianapolis when a man entered and shot him. Officers found Joshua inside the business with a gunshot injury; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives interviewed several witnesses who had been inside the plasma center and quickly developed a person of interest. A short time after the shooting, officers went to a home in the 7500 block of Ruskin Place and located 32-year-old Marvin Wilson, who was taken into custody and later arrested and charged with Joshua Jones’s murder. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department described the shooting as an isolated incident and said there was no ongoing threat.

If anyone was at the Grifols Biomat USA Plasma Center that afternoon or has information about Joshua Jones or the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
