On June 1, 2023, 54-year-old Melisa Hansboro was found dead inside her Indianapolis home on Spruce Street on the day she was supposed to move into a new residence. Family members arrived to help with the move, discovered the front door locked, heard her phone ringing unanswered, and found her car missing. Forcing entry, the family’s 6-year-old grandson located Hansboro unresponsive on the floor.

An autopsy determined she died from a single gunshot wound to the back of her neck fired at close range. Suspicion focused on 64-year-old Jerry Lewis, Hansboro’s boyfriend, who was reportedly in the process of breaking up with her and with whom she had argued prior to the killing. Cellphone records placed Lewis inside the house at the time of the shooting, and he later told a friend he had messed up his life and asked to be driven to the police station. He was arrested on August 1, 2023, and charged with murder.

Does anyone have information about Melisa’s last days, her circle in Indianapolis, or anything that could shed light on what led to this killing?
