On the morning of October 11, 2023, police responded to a reported shooting inside an Extended Stay America hotel on Indianapolis’ northwest side. Officers found three people with gunshot wounds in a hotel room; 22-year-old TreShawn Glenn, a Black man from Indianapolis, was pronounced dead at the scene. A man and a woman who had also been shot were critically injured and taken to a local hospital.

Initial statements from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department indicated investigators were not searching for additional suspects beyond those at the scene. The investigation later identified the killing as tied to a broader criminal enterprise; authorities say the shooting was committed in furtherance of a racketeering and sex trafficking operation run by a man from Indianapolis.

One unusual detail reported during the probe was that, months after the killing, the alleged leader of that organization attempted to use TreShawn Glenn’s name as a false identity when arrested elsewhere. Anyone with information about TreShawn Glenn, the hotel room shooting, or the people involved is asked to come forward.
