Devin Gilbert III was a 15-year-old student at KIPP Indy Legacy High School who was fatally shot in the school parking lot in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood of Indianapolis shortly before 1 p.m. on November 3, 2023. Devin was walking home from school when the shooting occurred; he was taken to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Authorities described the shooting as targeted.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives identified a suspect the same evening and arrested a 15-year-old male who was not a student at the school. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office charged that teenager with murder and attempted murder and filed a motion to transfer the case from juvenile to adult court. Investigators said there had been a disturbance at the school earlier that day and were examining whether it was related to the shooting.

After Devin’s death, his mother reportedly received threats about a shooting at the funeral. Undercover officers watching the funeral area observed several armed men enter an SUV; a traffic stop produced multiple illegal firearms, including a handgun with a machine gun conversion device and a rifle loaded with 40 live rounds, and four arrests. If anyone has information about Devin, the disturbance earlier that day, or the threats against his family, please come forward.
