Eighteen-year-old Gabriel Pedraza was found with a fatal gunshot wound inside a residence on Nelson Avenue in Indianapolis on July 22, 2024. Police were alerted by an incomplete 911 call in the early hours of that Monday; officers discovered Pedraza critically injured and he later died despite medical attention. Investigators recovered a handgun inside the home, but it has not been confirmed as the weapon that caused the fatal wound. Authorities have not identified any suspects or announced arrests, and the motive and exact circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear.

Detectives continue to pursue leads and have asked the public for information. If anyone knew Gabriel, was in that neighborhood that night, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
