On the afternoon of May 5, 2024, 21-year-old Marshon Kentay Burch was found trapped in a car after it became lodged under a parked semi-trailer at East Richmond and North Ohio streets in Kokomo, Indiana. Two passengers escaped with minor injuries and told officers the driver had been shot and remained inside. Firefighters freed Burch and he was taken to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, where he was pronounced dead; an autopsy was scheduled to determine cause and manner of death.

Kokomo police opened a homicide investigation. The two passengers were reportedly uncooperative, saying they had no knowledge of the shooting or its motive. Investigators released surveillance images of a newer white Chevrolet Blazer with black trim, tinted windows and a distinctive rear-window sticker; the vehicle was later located but police did not publicly say whether its driver was involved. As of late May 2024, no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced.

If anyone saw activity around East Richmond and North Ohio streets on May 5, or recognizes that Blazer or the sticker, please contact Kokomo Police with what was seen.
