Brittany Allen, 33, was shot and killed at her Indianapolis home in the 9500 block of Village Way on the afternoon of January 27, 2023. Family members in the house heard insistent knocking; Allen refused to open the door. A woman’s voice then shouted accusations and gunshots followed. Allen’s nine-year-old daughter and her mother were in another room; the daughter later found her mother’s body. First responders pronounced Allen dead at the scene. Investigators reported no signs of forced entry, suggesting the shooter may have been known to the family.

Detectives say a tip and physical evidence tied 40-year-old Andrea Woods to the case. Witnesses reported seeing two people exit a black Cadillac with an AR-style rifle near the home, and that vehicle was known to be driven by Woods. A search of Woods’s car reportedly recovered a Radical Firearms rifle, a semi-automatic AR pistol, a magazine, and receipts matching cartridge casings found at the scene. Woods was arrested March 31, 2024, and faces a preliminary murder charge; final charging decisions rest with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.

Allen’s family described her as confident, strong, family-oriented, recently employed as a pharmacy technician and raising her daughter plus three nephews. Does anyone have information about Brittany, the vehicle seen that day, or the events leading up to the shooting?
