On the early morning of April 17, 2022, Indianapolis police responded to reports of shots fired on the near southeast side, in the 2700 block of South State Avenue. Officers found evidence of a shooting just before 1:30 a.m. but no victim at the scene. A short time later a 24-year-old man, identified as Jujuan Finch Jr., arrived at a local hospital with gunshot wounds. He was admitted in critical condition and died the next day, April 18, 2022. Homicide detectives were called and determined Finch had been shot on South State Avenue where the initial report originated.

Known to many as Juju, Finch was a father and family man described by relatives as prideful and involved in his son’s life; his survivors include his parents, wife, son, and an unborn child. He enjoyed cars and video games and was remembered for an entrepreneurial spirit and helping elders in his community. Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the IMPD Homicide Office or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana.

Does anyone from the neighborhood that night have information that could help investigators?
