On the evening of March 23, 2024, officers in Indianapolis responded to reports of gunfire at the Lakes of Georgetown apartment complex in the 4800 block of Pebble Way. They entered an apartment around 9:00 p.m. and found 60-year-old Black male Troy Lee Burrage Sr suffering apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel attended but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives took over the investigation, with Lead Detective Shem Ragsdale assigned. Investigators canvassed the area and collected evidence as they worked to establish the sequence of events and identify persons of interest. About a week later, on March 31, 2024, police arrested a 15-year-old juvenile and charged the teen preliminarily with murder; limited identity information was released because of the suspect’s age.

If anyone in the Lakes of Georgetown area that night saw anything or has information about Burrage’s death, please come forward.
