Erik Michael Hendricks Jr., 32, was found dead in the driver’s seat of a vehicle in the 200 block of South 23rd Street in Richmond, Indiana, on the evening of February 7, 2022. Police say he died of a gunshot wound after a verbal argument inside the car escalated and a gun was introduced. Two other people were in the vehicle; officers located them a few blocks away and interviewed them. The Richmond Police Department and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department investigated and forwarded the case to the Wayne County prosecutor to consider charges.

No arrests, suspects, or convictions have been reported, and public details about the argument and the investigation’s current status are limited. Does anyone have information about that night or about people who were in that area of South 23rd Street on February 7, 2022?
