Nouridine Moctar Mahamadou, 19, was shot and killed just after midnight in the parking lot of an Arby’s on Indianapolis’ northwest side. The shooting happened after the restaurant’s dining room had closed. A friend drove Mahamadou to a nearby hospital, where medical staff pronounced him dead from his injuries.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police processed the Arby’s parking lot as a crime scene and opened a homicide investigation. Mahamadou was a former student at Pike High School; his father said he had spoken with him the day before, urging him away from a troubling path. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified and the investigation remains open.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about the shooting, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
