Jason Lee Brookshire, 23, was found with apparent gunshot wounds in the courtyard of the TGM Autumn Woods Apartments in the 8900 block of Autumn Woods Drive in Indianapolis on the evening of January 12, 2024. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries.

Police say the sequence began about 7:30 p.m. after a report of gunfire. A person at the scene who called 911 later told officers someone had attempted to rob them, and the disturbance escalated to the shooting. Several people were detained by IMPD Homicide detectives, including the person who placed the initial call and is suspected to be the shooter; those individuals were later released. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office is reviewing whether the shooting was justified as self-defense.

The investigation remains open. If anyone has information about the events that night, contact the IMPD Homicide Office or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana.
