On a cold January afternoon in Indianapolis, 17-year-old Ranyia Grundy was found shot and later died at a hospital. Officers responding to a person-down call on January 19, 2023, first searched the 3100 block of North Guilford Avenue, then observed a vehicle driving erratically. A brief pursuit ended at 30th and College Avenue, where the car stopped and two people exited and surrendered. A male who exited had a gunshot wound to the foot; Grundy was discovered critically injured in the driver’s seat and was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified Grundy, and friends and family remembered her as a vibrant young woman and a leader on her running team, AthLead Indy. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon or about the people in the vehicle, please come forward.
