A dispute between brothers over living arrangements on Indianapolis’ near-north side ended with Damon Anderson dead. Damon Anderson, a 37-year-old Black man, was shot and killed late the evening of Sunday, April 14, 2024, at a home in the 3700 block of Boulevard Place, near Crown Hill Cemetery. Officers arrived about 11:15 p.m. after a report of a person shot and found Anderson with at least one gunshot wound; emergency personnel’s lifesaving efforts failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives determined the shooting was not random and that the suspect was known to Damon. Police said the dispute involved Damon and his brother, Datrone Anderson, over their shared living situation and that Damon was shot multiple times. Datrone was arrested and faced a preliminary murder charge, but prosecutors later dismissed that charge on grounds of self-defense; with that dismissal, no one is currently being prosecuted and the IMPD Homicide Office continues the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Katie Gourley at 317-327-3475 or [email protected].

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything the night of April 14 that could help investigators?
