A birthday celebration on the northwest side of Indianapolis ended in deadly gunfire in the early hours of April 10, 2022. Police say a fight at a banquet hall in the 4200 block of West 38th Street escalated and moved outside, and shots were fired. Twenty-four-year-old Belansky Fanord was found inside the building with fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Five other people — four men and one woman, ages 21 to 37 — were wounded; their injuries were reported as not life-threatening. Three of the wounded were located at the event center and two went to hospitals on their own. Despite numerous witnesses at the party, police had not announced any arrests or identified suspects and the investigation remains open.

If anyone was at that birthday party or has information about what led to the fight and shooting, please share tips with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
