On the early morning of Saturday, February 4, 2023, 18-year-old Kenzel Bones was shot and killed inside the Michigan Food Market near West Michigan Street and Holt Road on Indianapolis’ west side. Officers responding to a report of a person shot found Bones inside the store with an apparent gunshot wound; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene and the Marion County Coroner identified him as Kenzel Bones.

Detectives reviewed store surveillance footage that reportedly showed the person who entered armed and fired. A tip to an IMPD detective named 19-year-old Curtis Williams as a possible suspect; cellphone location data later placed Williams’ phone at the convenience store during the shooting. A search warrant executed on February 16, 2023 led to Williams’ arrest and the seizure of multiple firearms, including one fitted with a Glock switch, and various narcotics. Williams faces a preliminary murder charge and several preliminary gun- and drug-related counts; four others were also arrested on gun and drug charges. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office will review the case for charging decisions.

Does anyone have information about Kenzel, the Michigan Food Market area that night, or the investigation?
