On Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2023, a dispute in an Indianapolis apartment building escalated to a fatal shooting. Ousman Gasama, 34, was found dead, sitting upright on the entry stoop of a residence on North Shortridge Road with gunshot wounds. The argument involved another man, Efrem Edmondson, and reportedly began over a bottle of liquor after days of simmering tensions; Gasama had earlier expressed concern for his safety.

Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrived about 8:30 a.m., located Gasama’s body and followed a trail of blood back to the apartment where four witnesses, blood droplets, and cartridge casings were found. Detectives identified Efrem Edmondson as the primary suspect; he was arrested about a week later after admitting involvement and leading authorities to the weapon used. Edmondson was charged with murder and related offenses in connection with Gasama’s death.

Does anyone have information about Gasama, Edmondson, or the apartment complex that could help clarify what led up to that morning?
