Donnie Lee Sanders, 35, was shot and killed while working a temporary shift at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on March 6, 2023. Sanders was helping set up for a Supercross event and stepped outside the venue around 10:00 p.m. for a break. Witnesses say an individual approached him on South Capitol Avenue, remarked that he looked familiar, then drew a weapon and fired. Sanders died of his wounds; coworkers remembered him as friendly and funny.

The shooting prompted a large police response and a lockdown of the nearby Indiana Convention Center. Surveillance video captured the shooter fleeing and trying to enter the convention center but being unable to get inside; investigators used that footage to trace the suspect’s movements and identify him. Does anyone have information about Sanders, his work that night, or the moments leading up to the shooting?
