Melvin Hall Jr., a 37-year-old Black man, was found fatally shot in his car on the east side of Indianapolis around noon on December 15, 2022, near East 24th Street and North Kitley Avenue. Witnesses reported seeing a man standing in the street firing multiple shots into the passenger side of Hall’s vehicle before fleeing on foot. First responders found Hall slumped over in the driver’s seat with multiple gunshot wounds.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation. A witness provided a description of the shooter that included red shoes and a red hat; fingerprints on the passenger-side door of Hall’s car matched 27-year-old Antonio Johnson. A Facebook Live video from the day before showed a man wearing the same red hat and shoes, and a relative turned over clothing Johnson had asked them to discard.

No motive had been established publicly by this date. Does anyone have information about Hall, the area that day, or the events leading up to December 15, 2022?
