Carlton Stovall, 24, was shot in the early hours of Christmas Eve 2021 on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Officers responded shortly after 2 a.m. to an apartment complex in the 4500 block of Park Forest Court, near East 46th Street and North Arlington Avenue, and found Stovall with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and died later that Friday evening.

IMPD investigators identified and interviewed a person believed to be responsible; that individual was released after the interview while the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office reviewed whether charges would be filed. The identity of the person who was questioned has not been released. The investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knows Stovall, please come forward to help piece together the events.
