Seventeen-year-old Robert Fletcher Jr, a Black student at Pike High School and an AAU basketball player with college aspirations, was shot and killed outside an apartment building near Knobwood Drive and 71st Street in Indianapolis in the early hours of August 1, 2022. Police responded to a shooting call about 2 a.m. and found Robert with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Robert’s mother described him as a peacekeeper who avoided conflict and looked out for others. The family had suffered another recent loss when his sister, Ashanti Robinson, was murdered in a shooting at a northeast-side apartment complex 17 months earlier.

Does anyone who lived near Knobwood Drive and 71st Street or who knew Robert or his family have information that could help investigators?
