Eugene Kestner Jr., 43, was found shot on the front porch of a residence on the east side of Indianapolis early on Wednesday, January 19, 2022. Police responded shortly before 7 a.m. to the 500 block of South Emerson Avenue, near English Avenue. Officers discovered Kestner with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died shortly after arrival.

Homicide detectives say preliminary information indicates Kestner had been knocking loudly on the door of the house before the shooting. Investigators learned the occupants of the home were acquainted with Kestner. The firearm believed to have been used was recovered at the scene. No arrests, suspects, or charges have been publicly announced and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything around that time, or know of a connection between Kestner and the residents of that house?
