On the afternoon of March 5, 2024, a Honda sedan crashed into the back of a house on Memorial Knoll Drive in Hendricks County. The car’s sole occupant, 20-year-old Carlos Neri-Guzman of Indianapolis, was found inside with a fatal gunshot wound to his torso and was pronounced dead at the scene; the residents of the home were present but unharmed. What first looked like a tragic accident became a homicide investigation when detectives determined the gunshot, not the crash, killed Neri-Guzman.

Investigators say surveillance footage and other evidence place Neri-Guzman at a nearby community pool parking lot where he had arranged to meet two individuals; police believe the fatal shot was fired there before he drove away and later crashed. Less than a day after the shooting, law enforcement executed a search warrant at a home on McClain Drive in Brownsburg and took a 15-year-old male into custody. Officers recovered two firearms, including a semi-automatic handgun without a serial number that investigators believe was used in the shooting. The teen declined to speak with police after his arrest.

Does anyone have information about Carlos, the meeting at the pool parking lot, or the events that afternoon?
