A confrontation at a gas station parking lot on the east side of Indianapolis ended with the death of 32-year-old Desmond Banks on June 9, 2022. Security footage reportedly captured the moments after the collision. Butts assessed the damage, then attempted to leave; onlookers and Banks gestured for him to stop. After a conversation between the two men, Butts produced a handgun and shot Banks multiple times. Banks was found next to his car in the 9900 block of East 38th Street; medics pronounced him dead at the scene after officers responded around 11 p.m. Butts later returned and admitted to police that he was the shooter.
