On the morning of August 22, 2022, 16-year-old Katrina Strowder was found in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 3800 block of Cooper Square Court in Indianapolis after suffering gunshot wounds. Officers arrived about 1:15 a.m.; she was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died shortly after arrival. Investigators say Katrina knew the person who shot her; a person of interest was detained and interviewed but later released pending further investigation. Police have not disclosed that person’s identity.

Katrina was a Black teenager who wanted to be a cosmetologist and was remembered by family and friends for her lively spirit, love of art, cooking, singing and dancing, and for making people smile. Her family held a candlelight vigil and balloon release at the shooting site. The motive remains unclear and the homicide investigation is ongoing.

Did anyone in the Indianapolis area see Katrina that night or have information about who she was with?
