Askari Lamont Moore, 26, was shot and killed on August 12, 2023, in the 2000 block of Kildare Avenue on Indianapolis’s near east side. Officers responded about 4:20 p.m. after reports of a person shot and found Moore outside a residence with apparent gunshot wounds; emergency personnel’s life-saving efforts were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the shooting grew out of a family domestic disturbance at the home of Moore’s grandmother. A verbal argument escalated into a physical altercation, a firearm was produced, and the confrontation ended with Moore being shot. Witnesses described events to investigators, who quickly focused on one person present.

Authorities identified the primary suspect as a 17-year-old relative — reported to be Moore’s cousin and the grandson of Moore’s aunt, Stephanie Baker. The teenager was detained shortly after the shooting and later arrested and charged with murder following review by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.

If anyone witnessed the disturbance on Kildare Avenue or has information about that afternoon, please come forward to investigators.
