On the morning of July 13, 2024, 25-year-old Nakyra La Shawn McGee of Indianapolis was found outside an apartment building on the 4100 block of Edgemere Court with injuries consistent with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers first responded around 3:30 a.m. to reports of a shooting on the city’s northeast side.

About the same time, a 44-year-old man arrived at Community Hospital East with a non-fatal gunshot wound; investigators determined the two incidents were connected and the male victim was reported in stable condition. A witness tip led police to identify 33-year-old Michael Williams as a person of interest; he was arrested at a gas station on Arlington after officers recovered a handgun and marijuana in his vehicle. Williams was initially booked on charges including unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and dealing marijuana and denied involvement, saying he was at home when the shooting occurred. The homicide investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
