On the evening of Friday, December 13, 2024, a violent disturbance in the Cloverleaf Apartments complex on Indianapolis’s west side left 26-year-old Lamontra Landers dead. The incident occurred about 9:00 p.m. in the 800 block of Cloverleaf Terrace near West Washington Street and Interstate 465. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found Landers unresponsive inside a vehicle that had been riddled with bullets; the Marion County Coroner’s Office pronounced him dead and ruled the death a homicide.

Police also found a second adult male nearby who had been shot and was taken to Eskenazi Hospital in critical condition. Detectives described the episode as an isolated dispute rather than a random act of violence. A person of interest was detained at the scene but released after consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office as investigators pursued witness interviews and security footage to reconstruct the events.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Lamontra Landers, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
