Alejandro Flores Jr., 54, was found dead inside a home in the 2600 block of Joseph Cox Court in the Homestead Mobile Home Park in Columbus, Indiana, on the afternoon of November 27, 2023. Police discovered Flores seated in a chair with multiple gunshot wounds to the head; the death was investigated as a homicide. Born in the Bronx, New York, Flores worked as a certified electrician and as a laser cutter at Toyota and was described as a family man with an infectious laugh.

Officers detained 30-year-old Corbin W. Hippensteel nearby shortly after the shooting. Court documents say Hippensteel had been staying with his grandfather at the residence and that the grandfather told investigators his grandson had mental health problems, had been drinking heavily, and had threatened to shoot Flores before producing a revolver and pointing it at him. Hippensteel was charged with murder, and questions about his competency to stand trial led to psychiatric evaluations and a court-ordered restoration process.

If anyone knew Alejandro or was in the Homestead Mobile Home Park on November 27, 2023, please share what was seen or heard that afternoon.
