A chilly Monday morning in November 2022 ended in tragedy on Indianapolis’ northeast side when 23-year-old Day’eon Mallory was found in a grassy area in the 3800 block of North Temple Avenue with at least one gunshot wound. First responders gave medical aid, but Mallory’s injuries were fatal. The case remained unsolved for many months while Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department detectives investigated.

In June 2024 detectives identified 31-year-old Dante Robinson as the primary suspect and prosecutors filed a murder charge; Robinson was taken into custody without incident. Mallory’s family and the community expressed hope that the arrest will lead to justice.

If anyone has information about Mallory’s movements that night or witnessed activity near North Temple Avenue in November 2022, please share what you know.
