On the afternoon of September 30, 2022, gunfire erupted at Champs Barber Shop on the east side of Indianapolis, near East 10th Street and Emerson Avenue. First responders found multiple people shot inside and nearby; 24-year-old Kevin Lamont Lee Stigger sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. A woman inside the shop was critically wounded and taken to hospital, and a man who fled across the street was hospitalized in stable condition.

An investigation continued for more than a year with no arrest announced until October 2023, when 20-year-old Jamion Johnson was taken into custody on a warrant related to the shooting. Prosecutors charged Johnson with murder and multiple felonies, and court documents state he allegedly admitted firing a handgun six times inside the shop, claiming self-defense against an armed entrant. Legal challenges over which shot killed Stigger remained part of the case.

If anyone was in or near Champs Barber Shop that afternoon or has information about what happened, please come forward.
