Alfred Wombles, 44, was shot and killed in Indianapolis in the early morning of January 18, 2024. Officers discovered him about 6 a.m. in the 3300 block of North Kenwood Avenue with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died. Reports say a screwdriver was found in his pocket and that he was unarmed.

Police identified 41-year-old Ladrelle Bryant, the homeowner, as a person of interest. Bryant called 911 after the shooting, saying he feared he was about to be robbed and fired a warning shot; the shooting occurred outside his garage. Bryant was initially detained and released, then charged with reckless homicide by the Marion County Prosecutor on May 13, 2024, and surrendered on May 21. He was booked and later released on a $15,000 surety bond. The family has said they are devastated and disappointed that Bryant was not charged with murder.

Alfred, known as Wayne, is remembered by family as a loving father of three — Juleah, America, and Alfred — and a comedian who cherished his family. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that morning that could help the investigation?
