On the evening of April 1, 2024, a dispute between friends in Indianapolis ended with 39-year-old Dustin Wesley Soubeih shot in the neck in the 1300 block of Kappes Street. Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department found Soubeih with an apparent gunshot wound shortly after 6 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A witness said a heated exchange preceded a single shot that struck Soubeih.

Police initially focused on a nearby house on Kappes Street and deployed an IMPD SWAT team for a multi-hour standoff before determining the suspect was not inside. Early the next morning, law enforcement located and arrested an individual in the 1000 block of North Traub Avenue, about two and a half miles from the shooting; that person faces a preliminary charge of murder in connection with Soubeih’s death.

Soubeih was born June 14, 1984, in Indianapolis and lived in Whiteland, Indiana. He worked as a residential and commercial painter and was remembered by family and friends for his love of music and sports and for being willing to help others. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the events on Kappes Street that evening, please come forward.
