Darrell Lamont Ransom Jr. was fatally shot inside a North Dearborn Street home in Indianapolis on the evening of June 3, 2022. Officers arrived just before 10:30 p.m. after a shooting was reported and found the 44-year-old suffering multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witness accounts and electronic monitoring data were central to the investigation. Ransom’s son said he heard his father talking with a visitor downstairs; the son went back upstairs, then heard an argument and gunfire. Another witness who had accompanied the visitor said the dispute concerned a narcotics purchase the visitor claimed was unsatisfactory. Detectives matched GPS ankle-monitor data to place a 32-year-old man at the house when the shooting occurred; that man was arrested roughly five hours later at a residence on Oliver Avenue.

If anyone knew Darrell, was at the North Dearborn Street area that night, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
