On the night of November 19, 2023, a shooting on Indianapolis’ near northwest side killed 22-year-old David Lee Swanigan. Swanigan was seated in a vehicle near West 29th Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street just before 11:00 p.m. when gunfire struck the car occupied by Swanigan and 25-year-old Rosalba G. Torres Arceo.

Investigators say the shooting likely started at the southwest corner of the intersection, where multiple shell casings were recovered. The vehicle was driven across the street to the northwest corner and collided with a sign near a BP gas station before stopping. Emergency responders pronounced Swanigan dead at the scene; Torres Arceo was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died.

Detectives reported that two men in dark clothing were believed to have been involved, but no detailed suspect descriptions or a getaway vehicle were released. The IMPD Homicide Office, led by Detective Christopher Winter, is handling the open investigation and has asked the public for information. If anyone saw activity around West 29th and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street that night, can you help investigators by coming forward?
