On May 15, 2022, 27-year-old Timothy Lewis II was shot on Indianapolis’s near southeast side in the 1600 block of Harlan Street, near East Minnesota Street and South Keystone Avenue. Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department found Lewis with gunshot wounds to his head and face; he died of those injuries at Eskenazi Hospital on May 18, 2022, with family at his side.

Witnesses gave a description that led police to pursue and apprehend a suspect, identified as John May. A neighbor’s security camera recorded the confrontation: the video shows May pointing a gun at Lewis’s face, firing, then standing over Lewis and shooting him again. That footage played a central role in the investigation and charging decision.

Timothy’s family remembered him as kind-hearted with a contagious smile and a giving personality. Does anyone in the area have additional information or saw activity around Harlan Street that afternoon?
