Anthony Christopher Drummer, 52, was fatally shot in Indianapolis’s American Legion Mall on July 20, 2023. Officers found him with a gunshot wound to the head on the 700 block of North Meridian Street. A witness sleeping in the park was approached by the shooter, who admitted the killing at the scene.

Howard Moffitt remained at the scene, told police he was the shooter and said the weapon was in his backpack; surveillance placed him there soon after the shooting and forensic testing linked the gun to the fatal shot. Moffitt was arrested and later tried by a jury, which convicted him of murder and resulted in a 60-year prison sentence that included a habitual-offender enhancement. An appeal arguing insufficient evidence to disprove self-defense was rejected, with the court finding evidence that Moffitt had been the initial aggressor and that the jury could reasonably reject the self-defense claim.

If anyone was in the American Legion Mall area that morning or has information about interactions between Drummer and others there, please share what was seen.
