Matthew Hamilton, a 23-year-old Black man, was killed in a shooting at a BP gas station at the intersection of 30th and Cold Spring Road on the near northwest side of Indianapolis on Saturday, September 2, 2023. He was with a female companion when 23-year-old Darren Marion Douthit Jr. confronted them and, according to court documents, shot Matthew. The companion shot Douthit; she called 911 but both men died of their injuries.

Investigators concluded the woman acted in defense and she was not charged. Detectives then focused on a third person who had driven Douthit to the gas station. That man, identified as Damarius Coffy, was arrested and initially charged with felony murder. Coffy later pleaded guilty to one count of robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, and with that plea the legal proceedings in Matthew Hamilton’s death were closed.

Is there anyone who remembers seeing activity at the BP on 30th and Cold Spring Road that night who could add detail?
