A Halloween party on the northeast side of Indianapolis became deadly when 16-year-old Kalin Janae Washington was killed by gunfire on October 29, 2023. Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrived around midnight to find shots being fired and a large crowd fleeing. Washington was located inside the building with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Nine other attendees, aged 16 to 21, were also injured by gunfire. Police reported finding multiple guns at the scene and detained several people for questioning, but no arrests have been made in connection with Washington’s murder. Five people have been cited for violations tied to the unpermitted event, which reportedly drew more than 100 people after being promoted on Snapchat.
