On the night of December 28, 2021, a triple shooting on the north side of Indianapolis left two young men dead and a third critically injured. Officers responded just after 9:30 p.m. to the 7200 block of Rue De Margot Drive, near West 71st Street and Michigan Road. First responders found two victims with apparent gunshot wounds outside an apartment complex; 22-year-old George Qualls III and 17-year-old Jaivin Hoskin were pronounced dead at the scene. Qualls had played on Ben Davis High School’s 2018 state championship football team.

A third victim was later located at a Shell gas station in the 7200 block of North Michigan Road, inside a vehicle struck by bullets and taken to hospital in critical condition. Detectives say the shooting likely began at the apartment complex before the wounded survivor drove to the gas station. Investigators have treated the incident as not random and have canvassed for witnesses and surveillance footage, but no suspects were immediately apprehended. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.
