On the evening of March 25, 2023, a shooting on Interstate 70 in Indianapolis ended the life of 30-year-old Anthony Shelman Jr. While driving his Nissan Altima, occupants of another vehicle opened fire, striking Shelman Jr. and a 35-year-old passenger multiple times. Shelman Jr. lost control of his car and it crashed near East 21st Street and Emerson Avenue on the city’s east side. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital; Shelman Jr. died shortly after arrival, and his passenger survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Indiana State Police led the investigation and executed a search warrant at a southwest-side residence where methamphetamine was found. Two people were arrested there: Julius Willis was charged with the murder of Anthony Shelman Jr. and the attempted murder of the surviving passenger, and 24-year-old Krishawna Cleveland was charged with dealing and possession of methamphetamine. A third person was also arrested in connection with the incident. If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Anthony Shelman Jr., please share what you know.
