Kyson Ky Ward, 23, was shot dead outside a duplex on the 1500 block of Renton Street on the southeast side of Indianapolis in the early morning hours of June 26, 2022. Medics found him at the scene shortly after 8:30 a.m.; he was pronounced dead from gunshot wounds. A woman shot alongside him was taken to Eskenazi Hospital in critical condition and later reported to be serious but stable.

Detectives from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide unit say a disturbance preceded the gunfire and do not believe the shooting was random. No suspect information or arrests have been released, and the case remains unsolved. Kyson’s mother, Shekelia Ward, publicly pleaded for information, noting the loss to the family and his young son.
