Mark Miles Jr., 31, was fatally shot inside a residence on the far east side of Indianapolis on March 15, 2024. Officers responded shortly after 11:00 p.m. to the 3600 block of Ireland Drive, near East 38th Street and North Post Road, after reports of a disturbance. Miles was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a local hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead a short time later.

Investigators say the shooting arose from a domestic dispute between Miles and his younger brother. Witnesses and family members reported the brother had been acting erratically beforehand, making statements that he was God and threatening his mother. Miles reportedly tried to calm his brother during the altercation when the situation escalated and gunfire occurred.

Police identified the suspect as 18-year-old Terry Davis Jr., who was found hiding in the bed of a pickup truck about a mile from the scene and taken into custody without further incident. On March 20, 2024, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office charged Davis with murder and he was held in the Marion County Jail as proceedings began.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or family see signs of escalating trouble before March 15 that could help the investigation?
