Anthony Rome Harlin Jr., a 35-year-old Black man, was shot on the evening of November 18, 2024, on the far east side of Indianapolis. The shooting happened in the area of East Washington Street near I-465, with initial reports focused on the 8700 block and the Phillips 66 gas station at 8734 E. Washington St., by the Washington Food Mart. Officers arriving on scene found him with at least one gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital in critical condition and did not survive. The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified him the following day.

Police described the incident as isolated and said everyone involved had been identified, but they did not announce an arrest, suspect name, or motive in the immediate aftermath. A fundraiser organized in Harlin’s name said he left three children and described him as their provider. Are there readers who knew Anthony or who have information about what happened that night?
