On the morning of November 15, 2022, 30-year-old Dustin Alan Phipps was shot during an altercation at a Marathon gas station on Southeastern Avenue in Indianapolis. Surveillance shows Anvictor Butler, then 46, run from the store and fire two shots into the driver’s side of a Chevrolet Malibu as Phipps drove away. Phipps’ car crashed into a tree in a nearby yard; he was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died shortly after arrival.

Butler fled the scene but later surrendered after consulting with a lawyer and turned over a Glock .357 that was alleged to be the weapon used. He was arrested and charged preliminarily with murder. Reports noted the vehicle Butler had been driving had been reported stolen months earlier and that Butler was a convicted felon prohibited from possessing a firearm. Phipps’ brother said Dustin was in a pretty deep place and wished there had been other ways to help him.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation at the gas station or has information about the events leading up to that morning, please share what is known.
