Markes L. Day was 19 when he was found shot to death in an alley in the 2000 block of Brookside Avenue on Indianapolis near east side on the morning of April 28, 2023. Officers discovered his body just after 8:00 a.m.; investigators believe he was killed elsewhere and his body was left in the alley. He had last spoken with family the day before and had said he was with friends in the Brookside neighborhood; he never returned home.

The death was ruled a homicide and remains unsolved. As of late 2025, no arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced. Family members have made public pleas for information and remember Markes as a student who was looking forward to graduating from George Washington High School.

If anyone knew Markes, his recent movements, or has information about where he might have been the night before he was found, please come forward.
