In the early morning hours of October 2, 2022, a dispute on the east side of Indianapolis ended with an innocent bystander killed. Sabrina Travis, a 35-year-old Black woman, was standing on a sidewalk in the 2700 block of East Michigan Street when she was struck by gunfire. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers and first responders found her with gunshot wounds just before 2 a.m.; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators determined Ms. Travis was not the intended target. Homicide detectives say the shots came during an argument between a man and his girlfriend in another car nearby, and Ms. Travis was unintentionally struck. Within days, police identified and arrested a 20-year-old suspect, Ronnie Smith, and charges were filed by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office on October 6, 2022.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall the disturbance on East Michigan Street that night or who can help clarify what happened?
